Comply with your local or International Residential Codes (IRC) APPLICATIONS Nail/Glue/Float Solid prefinished bamboo products are normally installed using 18 gauge cleat flooring nailers. Bamboo styles like horizontal and vertical can be easily nailed whereas strand bamboo is much harder and tends to be rather challenging to nail. These natural characteristics and not considered defects. To prevent board damage, installers will determine the best fastening method appropriate; cleat nailing vs. gluing. Not surprising, hand nailing or direct gluing may be needed for strand bamboo (see nailing recommendations). Ensure the use of correct sized fasteners and or adaptors. In addition, using approved flooring adhesives bamboo flooring can also be glued to plywood or to a concrete substrate with or without an underlayment (see glue recommendations). This bamboo flooring can be used successfully over radiant heat applications. For greater thermal insulation and sound isolation qualities, our flooring can also be installed (nailed or glued) over an underlayment to meet the needs of customers, building specifiers and condominium associations. (see approved underlayments) Our flooring can also be installed as a floating floor over concrete when used in conjunction with the Elastilon Installation System, along with 6-8mil sheet plastic. Install as a floating floor for below-grade applications OWNER/INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITIES Bamboo flooring is characterized by distinctive variations in grain, pattern, and color.
