How do I install a floating floor?
First of all, you will need to decide which underlay you want. There are different types depending upon your needs and requirements. If you are not sure, have a look at the following: What underlay should I use with my bamboo floor? You would measure and cut your underlay to size and roll it out in the room. Start at one wall and lay out the planks of bamboo over the underlay. If you have click fitting bamboo, simply click and lock the joints together. If you have tongue and groove bamboo flooring, you will need to glue the edges together to create a tight and secure fit. Continue to do this throughout your room. Remember to leave an expansion gap around the edge of the room. Finally add the finishing touches, like bamboo skirting or beading.
