Bamboo flooring glue, which may also be referred to as wood flooring glue or adhesive, is used to when installing bamboo flooring. 

The two main types of glue area flexible flooring adhesive (used when gluing your bamboo flooring down), or a WPVA glue (used when floating a tongue and groove bamboo floor). Bamboo flooring does not necessarily need fixing into position but if you decide that you want to, then gluing it down to the existing subfloor is one way to do it.  You will need to have a solid subfloor and used a flexible flooring adhesive such as Sika MS. To make sure that the planks of flooring do not move around after installation, you should ensure a full surface bond with the plank and the subfloor.
