· PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BAMBOO FLOOR GLUE-DOWN INSTALLATION ·
· BAMBOO FLOOR GLUE-DOWN PRE-INSTALLATION PROCESS · JOBSITE REQUIREMENTS · ACCLIMATION CONDITIONS ·
THE BAMBOO FLOORING PRE-FINISHED PLANK GLUE-DOWN INSTALLATION ARE THE SAME METHOD AS REGULAR
HARDWOOD FLOORING PRE-FINISHED PLANKS INSTALLATION, USING RECOMMENDED WOOD FLOORING ADHESIVES.
FOLLOW THE NATIONAL WOOD FLOORING ASSOCIATION (NWFA) INSTALLATION GUIDELINES.
THE BAMBOO FLOORING MUST TO BE PROPERLY ACCLIMATE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
THE POINT OF ACCLIMATING BAMBOO FLOOR BEFORE THE INSTALLATION
IS TO ALLOW THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE BAMBOO FLOOR TO ADJUST
TO THE TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY CONDITIONS AND MOISTURE CONTENT
OF THE INSTALLATION SITE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT.
IN THE AREA OF THE BAMBOO FLOOR INSTALLATION, THE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY OF THE INSTALLATION AREA
SHOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH NORMAL, YEAR-ROUND LIVING CONDITIONS FOR AT LEAST ONE WEEK
BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THE BAMBOO FLOORING, AND MAINTAINED AT THOSE LEVELS AFTER INSTALLATION.
THE BAMBOO FLOORING PACKAGES SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE ROOM PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
AND ALLOWED TO ACCLIMATE TO THE ROOM'S TEMPERATURE FOR A MINIMUM OF 5-7 DAYS
IN A PROPERLY CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.
THE MOISTURE METER MUST BE USED TO CHECK MOISTURE LEVELS IN BOTH THE BAMBOO FLOORING PLANKS
AND THE CONCRETE SUB-FLOOR BEFORE THE INSTALLATION.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION THE BAMBOO FLOORING MATERIAL SHOULD BE INSPECTED
FOR GRADE, COLOR, FINISH AND QUALITY.
BAMBOO FLOORING PLANKS SHOULD BE INSTALLED FROM SEVERAL CARTONS AT THE SAME TIME
TO ENSURE COORDINATION AND CONSISTENCY OF COLORS, SHADES AND BETTER VISUAL APPEARANCE.
ALWAYS WORK FROM MULTIPLE BOXES SIMULTANEOUSLY AND MATCH THE BOARDS THROUGHOUT THE INSTALLATION
TO ACHIEVE A GOOD BLEND AND TONAL VARIETY OF COLORS, GRADES AND SHADES.
BAMBOO FLOORS REQUIRE EXPANSION SPACE AT THE WALL AND ALL VERTICAL OBSTRUCTIONS.
WHEN INSTALLING THE BAMBOO FLOORING MAINTAIN PROPER EXPANSION SPACE
AROUND THE ENTIRE PERIMETER OF THE FLOOR BETWEEN THE FLOORING AND THE WALLS,
AND KEEP EXPANSION SPACE WHERE THE FLOORING WILL MEET ANY VERTICAL OBSTACLE,
SUCH AS STAIRS, PIPES, DOOR, CABINETS, ETC.
COMPLETE THE FLOORING INSTALLATION BY INSTALLING APPROPRIATE TRIM MOLDINGS
AND WALL MOLDINGS ALONG WALLS AND DOORWAYS TO COVER THE EXPANSION AREA.

· GLUE-DOWN BAMBOO FLOORING INSTALLATION METHOD GUIDELINES ·
· BAMBOO FLOORING GLUE-DOWN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OVER A CONCRETE SUB-FLOOR ·
FOR GLUE-DOWN APPLICATION THE BAMBOO FLOOR MUST BE INSTALLED OVER CONCRETE SUB-FLOOR.
THE KEY TO A BEAUTIFUL, LONG-LASTING BAMBOO FLOORING IS A WELL-PREPARED SUB-FLOOR.
THE CONCRETE SUB-FLOOR CONDITIONS, THE QUALITY AND PREPARATION OF THE CONCRETE IS CRITICAL
TO THE PROPER AND SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION OF THE BAMBOO FLOORING OVER CONCRETE.
THE CONCRETE SUB-FLOOR MUST BE PROPERLY PREPARED, FULLY CURED, BE AT LEAST 60 DAYS OLD
AND MEET ALL NATIONAL WOOD FLOORING ASSOCIATION GUIDELINES REQUIREMENTS.
THE SURFACE OF THE CONCRETE SUB-FLOOR MUST BE CLEAN, LEVEL, DRY, STRUCTURALLY SOUND, FLAT, SMOOTH,
FREE OF IMPERFECTIONS, DIRT, OIL, PAINT, OLD ADHESIVE, WAX, SEALERS, DUST, CURING AGENTS,
CONTAMINANTS AND OTHER ELEMENTS THAT WOULD INTERFERE WITH AN ADHESIVE BOND.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE A LONG-LASTING BOND BETWEEN THE ADHESIVE, THE CONCRETE AND THE BOARDS.
FOLLOW ALL ADHESIVE APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
INSUFFICIENT ADHESIVE APPLICATION AND CONCRETE SUB-FLOOR THAT IS NOT PROPERLY LEVELED AND FLAT
TO INDUSTRY REQUIREMENTS, CAN CAUSE IMPROPER ADHESIVE TRANSFER
WHICH NEGATIVELY IMPACTED FLOOR INSTALLATION, CREATING HOLLOW SPOTS AND SQUEAKS.
TO CORRECT THE ISSUE HIGH SPOTS MUST BE SAND OR GRIND DOWN,
AND LOW SPOTS MUST BE LEVEL WITH APPROPRIATE LEVELING MATERIAL
ALLOWING EXTRA DRYING TIME FOR THE LEVELING COMPOUNDS.
CONCRETE SUB-FLOOR MUST BE TESTED FOR MOISTURE CONTENT BEFORE BAMBOO FLOOR INSTALLATION.
DETERMINING MOISTURE CONTENT BETWEEN CONCRETE SUB-FLOOR AND PROPERLY ACCLIMATED BAMBOO FLOORING
IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF QUALITY CONTROL WITHIN THE FLOORING INSTALLATION PROCESS.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE CONCRETE SUB-FLOOR
MEETS THE APPROPRIATE INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR THE FLOORING MATERIAL
TO BE INSTALLED WITHIN ALLOWABLE GUIDELINES.
IF HIGH MOISTURE READINGS ARE FOUND, THE MOISTURE SOURCE MUST BE IDENTIFY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
DURING INSTALLATION ALWAYS CLEAN ANY ADHESIVE FROM PRE-FINISHED BAMBOO FLOORING IMMEDIATELY
WITH “BOSTIK ULTIMATE™ ADHESIVE REMOVER”, THEN DRY BUFF WITH A NONABRASIVE TOWEL.
ALL TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT MUST BE ALSO IMMEDIATELY CLEAN WITH “BOSTIK’S ULTIMATE™ ADHESIVE REMOVER”.
TO ENSURE A LIFETIME OF SATISFACTION AND UNLIMITED MOISTURE PROTECTION,
A MOISTURE BARRIER IS REQUIRED FOR ALL BAMBOO FLOOR INSTALLATIONS
REGARDLESS OF SUB-FLOOR MOISTURE CONTENT.
A CONCRETE SUB-FLOOR MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES
SET FORTH BY THE NATIONAL WOOD FLOORING ASSOCIATION.
