bamboo flooring tips: the importance of acclamation
January 2nd, 2008
Before installing your bamboo flooring, a very important set of bamboo flooring tips involves allowing your flooring materials and adequate amount of time to acclimate to their surrounding environment. Every house — indeed every room in the house — has a different temperature and humidity range. For example, if your house/floor has a very low, dry humidity, over time your bamboo flooring will contract somewhat as it dries out — on the other hand, it will expand in the presence of humidity. So allow your bamboo flooring material to sit out for a few weeks in the area where it will eventually be installed, in order to adjust to its new surroundings.
