Installing bamboo follows closely in how traditional hardwood is installed, but one thing is clear; be careful. Why? Some bamboos are quite soft in that they can ding and dent quite easily. Probably the best advice here is protect the floor after each section is installed. More on this topic is covered below.
With any type of installation, critical steps to success should be performed before starting. These include acclimation, moisture testing, and proper floor preparation. Generally the lack of floor preparation is one of the leading reasons for failure. In a nutshell, all subfloors should be flat while allowing a tolerance of 3/16" over a span of 8-10 feet. For more on all these topics, follow my floor preparation articles.
Nailed or Stapled
If you have a wood subfloor the direct fastening method seems to be the preference. Originally many manufacturers did not provide specifications, rather they assumed most installers were safe in following standard methods which included stapling. In recent years more guidelines have surfaced that includes the use of 18 gauge cleat nails over staples that eliminate or cut down on tongue splitting; a result that can create squeaky floors.
Products now being recommended by larger manufacturers include the Powernail 50P or Primatech Q550 specifically when it comes to the harder, more popular stand flooring varieties.
Guidelines for nail down procedures should be similar to that of common hardwoods. Fasten every 6-8" on center (OC) and approximately 2" away from each end joint. Always keep a good eye on nail penetration. These tools are pneumatic and fasteners will not seat properly if the air pressure is too low or high. Failure to monitor can result in crushed board tongues (high pressure) that can result in squeaking, or adjacent board surface dimples or bumps (low pressure) once the floor is installed.
Floating Floors
Too often I hear, "they said we could float this floor." Not all products can be installed by the floating floor method, specifically solid products. Wider engineered or cross ply products should only be considered for floating. Floating floors are installed over various types of underlayment providing a cushioned feel. Some more popular basic underlayments include three in one (3-1) types that provide cushion and moisture protection for concrete subfloors.
Click or glue? Click or snap lock products have become popular with the DIY crowd in laminate, hardwood, and bamboo. How long they hold up has always been on many installers minds. As of this update, September 20, 2014, we're glad to report these systems are holding up well but should be avoided near areas of potential moisture. Glued type floaters require the application of Titebond adhesive into the groove of the boards when installing. The consensus favors glued type floating over others.
Floating floors need expansion area as do other types of installations. Often misinformed salespeople confuse laminate flooring expansion with hardwood or bamboo. Laminate manufacturers use 5/16" as a guide. Our suggestion; play it safe and allow as much expansion as possible. Small layouts or square rooms may only need 3/8" expansion, but if the installation flows into other rooms and runs in excess of 40 feet or thereabouts, more expansion area should be allowed. Do not butt or install any floating systems against a fixed object such as fireplace hearths, columns and the like. Failure to heed this advice will result in tenting or buckled flooring.
Glue Down Floors
Across the website you'll find we don't consider gluedown installations for do it yourselfers. But we realize many aredetermined. If considering such, it is important to use the recommended adhesive! With many brands being sold without installation specifications, what is one to do?
Manufacturers that do make the effort, specify urethane type adhesives such as Bostiks (example shown above). Water based adhesives should be avoided! Our suggestion; buy the more expensive urethane glue and sleep better at night. The others will cause severe cupping within a matter of days and your new floor could be permanently ruined.
Installation Costs? Protect As You Go
Labor rates for installation follow closely with that of common wood floors but will vary from one region to another, including your hometown. As with any prefinished floor, care should be given priority, especially during the installation process. Always keep work areas clean of debris and cover already completed areas with cardboard, masonite board or other thicker protective materials and sweep frequently.
Other Thoughts
In earlier years we heard numerous complaints about bamboo and their performance. Often a salesperson not familiar with the product is to blame and not the product itself. Many put too much emphasis on the durability as being almost indestructible; harder than oak or maple and more. The complaints reminded us of the same when laminate flooring became popular in the mid to late 'nineties.
There are differences in hardness, an often used selling point. As you'll notice on other pages, not all products are the same. Some will be more consistent in color from one board to the next while others can offer a wide variation (example above). With any type of bamboo or wood floor, always utilize three or four cartons when installing to obtain a better distribution of color.

Life would be some much easier if we all had magicians in the family. You know someone who could levitate the furniture while rolling out our new vinyl flooring and then, with a mere wiggle of the nose, the job would be done! We all know it's not that easy and it can be stressful. But knowledge is power. Here's our list of what you can expect before, during and after installation.
The No-Stress Pro
Sure your ex-girlfriend's brother's uncle can do this for you wholesale, but trust your retailer to recommend a professional to install your new flooring. It's not an easy process. In fact, even the best Do-It-Yourselfers should resist the urge.
Click here to find a professional vinyl flooring installer in your area.
The Shape of Your Substrate
The surface on which the vinyl flooring will be laid is called the substrate. Are you installing over wood, concrete or old vinyl? Each has its own special preparation. Your substrate may require an underlayment. No, not an undergarment but it is an additional layer. An underlayment will add height to your floor and may affect your appliances and counters.
In order for your warranty to be upheld, many manufacturers require moisture testing if you are installing vinyl over concrete. Make sure your installer can do this for you.
And if you are still thinking about doing this yourself, only a true professional will be able to tell if you can install your new vinyl over your old vinyl. Be sure to ask.
Hows your subfloor?
Your existingsubfloor may need to be prepared to receive the vinyl flooring, or a new subfloor may be required. We suggest you discuss this with your retailer and, if subfloor work is necessary, that it be done by qualified professionals. It is important that the subfloor be as clean and level as possible. That helps insure your new vinyl flooring will be beautiful and well supported.
Installation Methods
There are three methods used to install vinyl flooring depending on the manufacturer and the style:
Before the Big Day
Call a friend, hire a team, do whatever you need to do, but make sure you remove furniture and other stuff from the room in which your new vinyl flooring will be installed. You probably dont want installers handling your precious things and they may charge you extra for the opportunity.
If you have gas appliances, contact the Gas Company about safely disconnecting and reconnecting these pieces. Ask your retailer about disconnecting and reconnecting such items as icemakers, stereo equipment and computers; and the removal of heavy items like pianos.
Also, consult with your retailer to determine if you will be charged to have your toilet moved out and replaced if your are putting new flooring in your bathroom. If they cant do it, you may need a plumber.
Good Temps
The area of installation must be climate controlled (heated or air conditioned). Indoor humidity should be maintained between 45-65%.
The Old Flooring
Will your new flooring be installed over your existing floor covering, or do you want your existing floors or carpets removed before the new one is put in? Removal of old flooring or carpeting can be time consuming and someone has to haul it away and dispose of it responsibly. Be sure to discuss the situation with your installer and assume that at least one day will be spent on removal, cleanup and preparation.
Choose a Trim
Doors
Interior doors often have space at the bottom to accommodate new flooring. If yours do, then youre good to go. If yours dont or theyre cut for something lower than the floor youre installing, you may need a qualified carpenter to cut or shave the bottom of each affected door. Check with your installer about their door policy.
Clean Up
Vinyl flooring installation results in lots of trash old carpets or floors, plastic wrapping, remnants, fast food containers. Talk to your retailer or installer about his or her clean up policy and what is done with remnants. You may want to save some leftover pieces of vinyl for future repairs just in case.
Take A Day Off
Its a good idea to be home on the day your new floor is installed. Inevitably, questions will be asked. Decisions will need to be made. And nobody has an eye for the details of your home like you do. So take a vacation day, call in sick, work from home just be there.
Watch From A Distance
Razor blades and stringy glue can make your vinyl installation area hazardous to the health of your children and pets. Find a comfortable space in another room or outdoors while the work is taking place.
Conduct A Walk-Thru
Before your installer leaves, walk through the installation area together to ensure that every last detail meets or exceeds your expectations. Ask questions and make sure that you approve of both the product and the installation before making your final payment.
After the Install
Madness to the Method
Final Tips
The hard part is over. Its time to relax and enjoy your new floor.

Then don't replace or reface your old cabinets. ReCraft them with Signature Woodcrafters' unique cabinet remodeling process.
ReCrafting is a way to completely change the look of your cabinets without the expense or disruption of a major remodeling job. We remove your old doors and drawer-fronts and replace them with 100% solid hardwood in your choice of style, woodspecies, color, and finish; custom-built to your exact specifications.
Unlike in conventional cabinet refacing, however, our cabinet frames are covered with matching 1/4" solid hardwood with a classic beaded edge, creating a clean, upscale look that complements almost any decorating style. Matching solid hardwood is also used to cover any exposed end panels.
The Result?
Beautiful cabinets with a high-end, handcrafted look, but without the mess and inconvenience of a complete remodelingand at a fraction of the cost.
Plenty! In the customary cabinet refacing process, frames and end panels are covered by a paper-thin self-adhesive veneer known in the industry as "veneer tape."
In contrast, at Signature Woodcrafters we use real, solid 1/4" hardwoodthe same wood your doors and drawer fronts are made from and finished to match perfectly.
Our doors and drawer fronts are also superior. Many refacers make their doors and drawer-fronts from inexpensive woods covered with wood-grained veneers, instead of solid hardwood. They may look okay on the surface, but it's not the top quality you're looking for.
With our doors and drawer-fronts, you get both the rich beauty and lifelong durability of 100% solid hardwoodno plywood, no chipboard, no veneers.
Surprisingly, no. All of our solid hardwood ReCrafting components - doors, drawers, frame covers, and end panels - are made in our own facility in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country. Because we've cut out the middle-man, we can pass this savings on to our customers. The price of having your kitchen cabinets ReCrafted by Signature Woodcrafters is right in line with what you would pay for cabinet refacing from one of our competitors.
Once your components have been custom-crafted, the actual installation usually takes only two or three days.
