RE: VIDEO: Bamboo Installation - A Workshop In Kathmandu

in #life7 years ago

if I have just had a bamboo floor fitted, as the one above, but on concrete. It was floated as your video and glued with wood pva glue. I noticed the installers did not put spacers down the sides. The floor does not look very good, there are large gaps between the planks in some areas, altho others are tight together. Already these gaps are filling with dirt and dust and do not look nice at all. When i mentioned to the installer he just said, yes it has spread overnight but that is what happens with tongue and groove, you should have bought a clicklock wood. Is this true? I dont really know what to do, any advice please

Hi, I am sorry but I have no idea where you have seen a bamboo floor. Although I have already seen beautiful crafted bamboo floors without any major gaps. As always when constructing wooden floors, its crucial to leave the material inside of the room for a few days so it can expand/shrink according to the average room temperature. But I think this was not your problem. Ask google, I am sure you will find answers :)
