Bamboo flooring is very easy to keep clean and maintain. Maintenance of your floor typically includes:
  • Daily or weekly dust mopping or sweeping may be needed to remove dirt, dust, and debris.
  • Do not use vacuums with rotating beater bars on hard surfaces.
  • Make sure to periodically clean exterior and interior floor mats to ensure that tracking of mud, dirt and debris does not persist.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners that leave dull residues.
  • Never wet mop the floor with water and do not allow excess cleaner to remain on the floor surface as this may permanently damage the wood.
  • Steam cleaners are not recommended.

Our bamboo flooring is easy to install. Installation of our bamboo planks is as follows:


Inspection:

Prior to installation, inspect the bamboo planks in daylight for visible faults/damage. Check if subfloor/site conditions comply with the specifications described in these instructions. If you are not satisfied do not install, and contact your supplier.

Tools and Materials Required:
  • Tape Measure
  • Tapping Block
  • Pencil
  • Pry bare or pull bar
  • Chalk line
  • Wood or plastic spacers
  • Crosscut power saw
  • Tape

Moisture Protection:
  • Lay the PE film or 6 mil poly vapor barrier sheeting, allowing for at least 20 cm (8”) overlapping and tape.
  • Turn the film upward 5 cm (2”) along the walls.
  • Trim after the skirting boards are fixed.

Before Laying:
  • Begin installation next to an outside wall.
  • Establish a straight working line by measuring an equal distance from the wall at both ends and snapping a chalk line.
  • The distance you measure from the wall should be the width of the plank plus about 3/8” for expansion space.
  • Work from several boxes of flooring and “dry lay” the floor before permanently laying the floor.
  • Before gluing a floor you will want to test for moisture.
  • If moisture is not in line with the manufacturers specifications, a sealer will need to be applied.

Expansion Gaps:

Provide 3/8” expansion gaps to walls and around other fixed objects.

Glueless Floating Floor Installation:
  • Start in the left corner with the tongue facing the wall.
  • Align the next piece by overlapping the end of the first board so that the joint is tight when the board lays flat.
  • Continue in this manner until reaching the final plank in the first row.
  • Cut the final board piece to length allowing for required expansion gap.
  • Place spacers against wall to restrain movement and maintain expansion gap.
  • Begin the second row with the cut piece from the first row. Note: If the piece is shorter than 8”, do not use it. Instead, begin with a new board that is at least 8” in length and allows 8” between the end joints on the adjacent planks.
  • Position the first board in place by angling it up slightly, pushing forward and interlocking the side tongue.
  • Slide the board to the left as necessary to align the edges of the end joint.
  • Carefully push the board down until the tongue and groove lock together on the side and ends.
  • A slight tap with a tapping block is necessary to complete the interlock.
  • Restrain the movement of the board by inserting a spacer in the expansion gap at the end of the board.
  • Install the remaining boards and rows in the same manner.
  • Cut the last board to size allowing for the required expansion gap.
  • Place spacers against the wall to restrain movement and maintain the expansion gap.
  • Whenever practical, use cut pieces from previous rows as the starter board to reduce waste.
  • Maintain 8” spacing between end joints after the first four rows for best appearance.
  • The last row may need to be cut lengthwise.
  • Place the last row of planks to be fit on top of the last row of install planks.
  • Use a piece of plank as a scribe to trace the contour of the wall.
  • Mark where the board will be cut.
  • After the boards are cut, position planks and tighten the fit using the pull bar.
