Lions Bambino vs Bevelmark: Which Collection Should You Buy?

Side-by-side published specifications

The table is a specification comparison, not an independent wear or sound test. Verify the selected color’s product page and current carton label before ordering; the product card is the operational source for coverage and current price.

What the size difference changes visually

A 7-by-48 plank introduces more end joints across a room than a 9-by-72 format. Longer, wider boards can make a large open area read as more expansive, while shorter boards can be easier to compose around narrower spaces and multiple transitions. That is a layout observation, not a promise that either plank makes a room look larger.

Use sample boards or product imagery as a shortlist, then consider the actual room width, doorways, fixed cabinets and plank direction. Ask how the installer plans to avoid narrow perimeter cuts. A broad plank can create an awkward sliver at a boundary if the layout is not balanced.

Wear-layer and bevel: compare the details, not a label

The wear layer is a stated construction specification. Bambino’s published 12 mil and Bevelmark’s 20 mil are meaningful distinctions to include in a comparison, but they do not independently guarantee scratch resistance, lifetime or suitability for every traffic level. Read the manufacturer’s warranty and use guidance for the intended application.

Bevelmark’s pressed bevel produces a more defined plank edge; Bambino’s painted bevel is a different edge treatment. View flooring under room lighting and at standing distance. Texture and bevel affect the visible seams and how grain detail feels; they are not a substitute for evaluating color and pattern variation.

Quantity and order worksheet

Use the exact product’s carton coverage when calculating. Example: for 300 square feet plus an illustrative 7% cutting allowance, the planning amount is 321 square feet. Bambino: 321 ÷ 23.64 = 13.58, round to 14 cartons (330.96 sq. ft.). Bevelmark: 321 ÷ 26.92 = 11.92, round to 12 cartons (323.04 sq. ft.). These are mathematical examples only; the installer’s takeoff may differ.

Compare current per-carton price multiplied by the required carton count, not a per-square-foot headline alone. Add the trim needed for the actual floor plan and check whether the chosen color is sold by the expected carton coverage. Current merchandise price belongs in the product listing/cart, not a static article.

Pick using the room and the full specification

Bambino may fit a shopper seeking a shorter, narrower format and a lower overall thickness. Bevelmark may suit a preference for longer, wider boards, thicker construction, EIR texture and the 20 mil published wear layer. Those are selection criteria—not a ranking. Confirm transition heights, doors, adjoining floors and substrate requirements before purchase.

Browse Bambino and Bevelmark colors. For an Orlando project, request a written flooring estimate if you need the existing floor, prep or installation scope considered alongside material quantity.

A closer look at the plank pattern

Mock up a small area of each format before deciding on the longer board. With 7-by-48 Bambino, the same floor area contains more short plank ends; with 9-by-72 Bevelmark, each board spans farther and is wider. The installer should still follow the product’s stagger requirements and avoid repeating end joints in a pattern. Check whether the long format can be carried, staged and cut conveniently in the rooms, especially in a narrow hallway or around a kitchen island. These practical constraints complement the printed specifications without turning size into a performance claim.
