Bamboo Flooring: An Installation Guide

If you are bored with the old lack-lustre flooring of your home and intend to do something new about it, go for bamboo flooring. You can opt for either unfinished or pre-finished flooring material, and get them installed in any of the three.

Eltham, HI (prHWY.com) January 31, 2013 - If you are bored with the old lack-lustre flooring of your home and intend to do something new about it, go for bamboo flooring. You can opt for either unfinished or pre-finished flooring material, and get them installed in any of the three different ways of installation.

You might wonder what is the difference between an unfinished flooring material and the material that comes in pre-finished condition. The unfinished bamboo flooring material comes without any lacquer. You have to do the sanding during installation in order to achieve the finished standard look that would last long.

On the other hand, the flooring material that is pre-finished does not require any finishing and sanding during the installation. It comes pre-finished to your home for installation. Once installed, the pre-finished bamboo flooring is ready to walk on.

Melbourne offers the highest quality bamboo flooring that comes finished with an eco friendly aluminium oxide lacquer. They also often use water based polyurethane finish which is equally nature friendly and good to look at.

Before you go for the installation, you have to pay necessary attention to the pre-installation details where bamboo flooring material is concerned. This is why you are required to allow the bamboo boards to get acclimatised to the room they are going to be fitted in, several days before the actual installation. You will simply have to leave the floor boards in the allotted room so that the bamboo boards get enough time to acclimatise themselves in the nature and the temperature of that particular room. This is necessary to do since bamboo is a gift of nature and can change, shrink or expand because of the varied degree of temperature and humidity inside a room. If they get time to get acclimatised in the room temperature, there will be no such problem after installation.

The benefits bamboo flooring is that this kind of flooring material can be installed over various types of subfloors such as wooden subfloors, vinyl subfloors, concrete subfloors and even over plywood. Based on the type of subfloor, various kinds of bamboo flooring can be used.

There are three main ways to install bamboo flooring. First you have to decide whether you will be installing the floors on your own, or you will hire a professional installer for the job. In the first way of installation, the bamboo boards are nailed onto the subfloor with nails or staples. Any kind of bamboo flooring can be installed though nailing. This is the most preferred method for wooden subfloors. In the second method, the flooring material is glued to the subfloor directly. You have to make sure that you are using the best quality glue and not a water based glue. The third method is the easiest if you want to install the flooring on your own. It is the floating click-on or the snap-lock flooring method. No nailing or gluing is involved in this method.

Allow a new and trendy look to your floors with the brilliance and longevity of Bamboo Flooring.
