Floating engineered bamboo flooring is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional type woods such as oak, maple, pine, and beech. It offers beauty, durability, and ease of installation at an affordable price. The engineered bamboo flooring combines compressed strand board with a top and bottom layer and horizontal bamboo as the core layer. Engineered bamboo flooring can be installed as a floating floor system on top of your sub-floor, thus making an outstanding and visually stunning foundation for your rooms.

The sub-floor beneath engineered bamboo flooring should be dry, leveled, structurally sound and free of all debris. If your sub-floor is uneven, make sure that there is no more than a 3/16ths inch difference in elevation in a ten-foot radius. Furthermore, your sub-floor needs to be very dry and grit free. In case of a wooden sub-floor system, make sure its moisture content is not more than 15 percent. It is important to put a moisture barrier over a dry wood sub-floor and then install flooring on the top of the barrier. If you have a concrete sub-floor, you should place a vapor retarder under engineered bamboo flooring to stop the moisture movement from your sub-floor into the bamboo flooring.

Floating engineered bamboo flooring is not difficult to install and most do-it-yourself can easily install it without seeking the services of a professional. It is known as floating engineered bamboo flooring because it makes use of an existing floor that can act as the substrate for bamboo flooring. After cleaning and drying your sub-floor, you should proceed by interlocking each piece of bamboo with one another. After interlocking, the individual pieces create a huge slab of flooring that floats on top of your sub-floor.

Pay special attention to the acclimatization requirements before installing engineered bamboo flooring. If you have been seeking a fabulous and durable flooring choice for moisture-prone rooms in your home such as bathroom, kitchen and basement, floating engineered bamboo flooring makes an ideal choice for you. As engineered bamboo flooring uses multiple types of bamboo, you may prefer engineered bamboo flooring as a durable choice to use in moisture-prone rooms in your home.

Floating engineered bamboo flooring is known for the beautiful pattern that runs through it due to the awesome linear graining and the stalk joints. The color choice for floating engineered bamboo flooring is either natural or carbonized. Carbonized bamboo flooring is dark in color which is attained when stalks are steamed under immense pressure before being made into bamboo flooring. Floating engineered bamboo flooring will make your home look beautiful and feel updated as it features a top layer of bamboo material in a style and color that you really want and need in your home.
