Ⅰ Main jobs before installation
    The ground should be dry. The ground drying time with cement: no less than 4 months in dry area, no less than 6 mouths in dank area . We can use the gesso to expedite the dryness.

    1. Installation way of dragon bones
    If you adopt installation way of dragon bones,you have to do according to the following request.Dragon bones, which are made of wooden strips(25～40mm) with high density and water-content rate of 8-14%, should be set and fixed on the dry and clean ground with a distance of 250 X 300(mm). Try your best to make the dragon bones smooth and plain. Original ground must be kept dry.

    2.Installation way without dragon bones
     If you adopt direct installation way without dragon bones,The original ground must be also kept dry, clean and smooth. Height difference of the ground is requested to be less than 2mm.

    3. Moisture-proof treatment
     Proper measurement of anti-humidity should be taken before installation that you may place a layer of nylon film on the dry, clean and smooth ground till to covering some 80mm height of the wall that will be covered by baseboard. If the floor is installed in the first floor ground, per-teratment of water-proof must be especially taken before.

II Another important measure of “Time Efficiency for Flooring”
    Must be taken before installation. Unpack the cartons ,keep the boards open widely and rest them on the site for 5-7 days before installation, in order to make the boards adapt the temperature and humidity of you room.

III Installation of Bamboo Flooring

    1.Direction of installation
     Direction of installation should be kept the same as that of the room length, and the floors be installed one by one from left or from right with their grooves facing the wall. A gap between floor and wall should be kept 10-15mm and need to put the wood edges.

    2. Installation method of flooring
     Fix the grooves and tongues of flooring , install the bamboor flooring directly on the base of ground. The end joints of flooring should be staggered (Generally speaking, on the position of 1/2 or 1/3 stagered). It doesnt need to be nailed or put glues. At the same time, we should check the straightness and flatness of flooring arrangement when installing. We should also pay attention to the color deviation,select the similar color floors to be put together. Let the color changed gradually. We should not put the big color deviation of floors together. In addition, we can use the color deviation to create shade design, increase the effect of appearance.

    3. Keep the flooring in proper tightness when installation
     In the areas where there are great differences of moisture in different season, you should keep fitting of boards in proper tightnrss according to the weather condition.Floors with lower water rate should be installed loosely when under dry weather conditions; On the contrary, floors with higher water rate should be installed tightly when under damp conditions. Otherwise, the floors will be curved or swelled or isolated with the season changing.

IV Thelast step for installation

    1. You have to cut some boards when finishing installation. Edge joints of floors must be painted where it is cut, in order to
    Prevent from penetration of water or moisture.

    2. After installation, a few of spring sheets should be placed between the grooves and wall in way of installation without dragon bones.

    3. In some where of the gate and other connecting places, you have to cut some floors so as to leave enough space for welling and shrinkage, then Tmolding or reducers can be installed to connect them and cover the space. Meanwhile, there must be 3-5mm space left between the bottom of doors and floor to benefit you open door freely.

    4. Thickness of baseboards should be less than 14mm. It muat cover the swelling gap totally.
