Sub flooring under bamboo.

When wood floorboards get wet they swell. We offer quietwalk plus underlayment for bamboo flooring that provides all three benefits above. An underlay is a thin layer of cushioning which is laid between the subfloor and the bamboo floor. The fans must also be set at high levels and left on until the subfloor is completely dry.

Underlays are typically used for either sound insulation or thermal resistance. 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. Place as many fans as possible in the room so that the air is circulated in the entire space. There is also a special type of underlay which is compatible with underfloor heating.

Remove a few boards to let the others expand and dry the subfloor. Using underlayment under your bamboo floor can provide soundproofing moisture protection and stability and reduce wood on wood squeaking. Underlay for thermal resistance. Bamboo flooring and an underlayment vapor barrier can be installed on any existing floor including concrete wood flooring vinyl tile linoleum tile etc as long as the floor is flat and solid.

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.
