Before Installation:

  • Acclimate the Flooring: Acclimate your Tiger Bamboo flooring to the room’s temperature and humidity for at least 48 hours before installation.
  • Subfloor Preparation: Ensure the subfloor is dry, clean, and level. Concrete subfloors should have a moisture barrier installed to prevent potential damage.
  • Room Conditions: Maintain room temperature between 60-80°F (16-27°C) with humidity levels between 35-55%.

Installation Process:

  • Floating Installation: Use the click-lock or tongue-and-groove system to install the planks. This is the easiest method and does not require adhesive.
  • Glue-Down Installation: Apply a high-quality adhesive to the subfloor and press the planks down to secure them.
  • Nail-Down Installation: For plywood subfloors, nails or staples can be used to secure the flooring.

Installation Tips:

  • Leave an expansion gap of at least 10-12mm along the edges to allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the bamboo with temperature changes.
  • Stagger the joints of the planks to create a more natural and aesthetic look, ideally by at least 30cm.
  • Use a tapping block to ensure planks are snugly fit together and avoid gaps.

Regular Care:

  • Sweep or Vacuum: Regularly sweep or vacuum the floor to remove dust and debris. Use a soft-bristled broom or a vacuum with a soft floor attachment to prevent scratches.
  • Mopping: Occasionally mop with a damp cloth and a wood-specific cleaner. Avoid excessive water as it can damage the bamboo.
  • Wipe Spills Promptly: Clean spills immediately with a dry cloth to avoid damage from moisture.
  • Furniture Pads: Attach felt pads to furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents when moved.

Long-Term Care:

  • Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use harsh chemicals, waxes, or abrasive cleaning products, as they can damage the finish.
  • Protect from Direct Sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Use curtains, blinds, or area rugs to protect the floor from UV rays.
  • Humidity Control: Maintain a humidity level between 35%-55% to prevent the bamboo from expanding or contracting due to excessive moisture or dryness.
  • Re-coating: Depending on foot traffic and usage, it may be necessary to re-coat the flooring every 3-5 years to maintain the protective finish and restore its original luster.
