• Preparation is essential - your subfloor must be level, dry and clean before installation begins.
• Make sure you turn off your underfloor heating system before you install your bamboo flooring.
• The bamboo needs to be heated evenly. This means that the whole room or area will need to have underfloor heating to allow the bamboo to expand and contract at the same rate across the day.
• If you have an underfloor heating system in screed, then it should be installed and running for at least seven days before you moisture test your subfloor and start to install your bamboo.
• Once your bamboo flooring is installed over the top of the underfloor heating system, the surface temperature of the bamboo should not exceed 26ºC.
• Always read the installation instructions and seek advice from a professional if you are unsure about anything.
