I have a baby grand piano in the room i am considering removing the rug and installing bamboo flooring. Would I have to consider a different option if I wanted to keep the piano in this room?

Bamboo is an ideal floor type for installations with heavy things on the floor due to its hardness and resistance to denting, you'll just want to glue down the flooring instead of floating the floor. A floated floor needs to expand and contract with seasonal changes and heavy objects impede this process so gluing it down will be your best bet. Here are our bamboo flooring installation steps (jump down to the glue-down section). www.califloors.com/solid-bamboo-flooring-installation

Is the plank will not move when u step on it since there is a gap in all sides.?

The weight of the floor once fully laid keeps it in place. In the beginning the first few rows may try to move around but after that it stays put.

Thinking of using this in a van. My concerns are that it will attract dirt in the joints between pieces and then if water spills on the floor then it might seep into and under the floor. any thoughts?

Appreciate it. So kitchen base cabinets shouldn't be installed on a floating floor? If not what's the solution. Thanks.

Are staples ever used to hold the underlayment in place?
@CaliFloors
11 ай бұрын
If your underlayment is strictly for comfort and insulative properties then using staples is fine, but if your underlayment is also serving as a moisture barrier, the staples will negate these benefits.

We don't recommend installing cabinets on flooring. While some situations are unavoidable, you would just need to nail or glue down the flooring to the subfloor. See this video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/tqqompx7gH9qjY4

Like all pre-finished wood floors, it's not waterproof. As long as you clean up spills within a reasonable amount of time, it will tolerate some moisture.

Yes, you can nail-down solid or engineered bamboo, but we don't recommend staples.

A bed shouldn't be an issue, but a large bookshelf or fish tank could inhibit expansion and contraction of a floated floor. If you do happen to have a large bookshelf or fish tank you'll just want to use the nail down or glue down installation method.

Wait. What? No...heavy furniture? On the floor? Which is ..typically where the heavy furniture goes? I went from being about to buy this to wondering why anyone would buy this in a single slide. Can't use it for kitchens due to cabinets, living space due to bookshelves, or bedrooms due to closets/armoires. This is...utterly baffling. Sounds like it's only use is for a model home that nobody actually lives in.
