Sub flooring under bamboo.

While laying out the underlayment it can cover the small imperfections your floor has and makes your floor look nice and even. Place the grooved side of bamboo planks against the spacers. These panels of osb or plywood are integral to the structure of the home and provide strength and rigidity to the floor system when attached to the floor joists. Using underlayment under your bamboo floor can provide soundproofing moisture protection and stability and reduce wood on wood squeaking.

Underlays are typically used for either sound insulation or thermal resistance. As you join planks end to end spread a small amount of tongue and groove flooring glue along the bottom portion of the groove before. The fans must also be set at high levels and left on until the subfloor is completely dry. When wood floorboards get wet they swell.

There is also a special type of underlay which is compatible with underfloor heating. If you remove a few floorboards one every 5 10 feet 1 5 3 0 m should be fine will allow your floorboards to expand without buckling or cracking. This will also help the subfloor to dry faster. Underlay for thermal resistance.

An underlay is a thin layer of cushioning which is laid between the subfloor and the bamboo floor. Remove a few boards to let the others expand and dry the subfloor. We offer quietwalk plus underlayment for bamboo flooring that provides all three benefits above. If your subfloor is uneven your flooring can potentially buckle or sound like rice krispies popping when walking on.

If there is access to the flooring from a lower level be sure to place fans there as well pointing to the damaged areas.
