Expansion Gap
Required gap width is 3/4”.
It is required around the perimeter of the floor and between floor and all vertical obstructions.
Do not place permanently installed structures such as kitchen counter/cabinet on the installed floor.
Cutting around permanent structures will save square footage and waste.
Radiant Heated Subfloor
This solid product cannot be installed over radiant heated subfloor.
Adhesive
Use a non-water base premium flooring adhesive, formulated for solid bamboo flooring installation.
Preferred type: moisture cure urethane floor glue.
Bond Failure
Bond failure is not flooring product defect. Most installation failures, including bond failure, result from jobsite moisture. Do not unpack or
deliver flooring to the jobsite until moisture problems are corrected. Read adhesive manufacturer’s instruction carefully. Certain wood flooring
adhesives may have special requirements and limitations of use. Some existing floor may not be acceptable. Not following the adhesive
manufacturer’s recommendations can lead to installation failure or product damage and will void your warranty.
Glue Spots on Face of Finished Floor
Adhesive can damage the floor’s finish, especially when it has dried. It is extremely important to take precautionary steps NOT to leave finger
prints or footprints marks on the face of the board. If glue comes in contact with the face of the board, remove immediately with the adhesive
remover recommended by the adhesive manufacturer. Use clean towels, changing them frequently to prevent haze and adhesive residue. If
the spot removal damages the appearance of the boards, replace the board.
