Bamboo Flooring Adhesive
There are many different types of adhesive for bamboo flooring. An adhesive is another name for glue. You will need to use a glue if you decide to fix you bamboo floor into position. If you choose to float your bamboo flooring over an underlay, there is no need for any adhesive if you have click fitting flooring, but you will need to glue the joints of tongue and groove bamboo flooring together.

What are the different types of adhesive for bamboo flooring? The two main types of adhesive are a flexible flooring adhesive and a WPVA adhesive. A flexible flooring adhesive is a glue that you would use when gluing your bamboo to the subfloor. It provides a firm grip, while being flexible enough to allow small, natural movements from the bamboo flooring. This flexibility is essential. Otherwise, your bamboo can start to crack or lift. A WPVA adhesive is the glue that you would use when floating a tongue and groove bamboo floor. The glue goes into the grooves of the flooring planks while fitting the flooring. The floor is still floated over an underlay (not glued down), but the joints stay firmly together. [caption id=attachment_2067 align=aligncenter width=300]
