This Lake Charles flooring showcases rich variations of blonde to brunette across a distinctive bamboo grain. The planks have a modern 5.13-inch width for an open feel that offers fewer visual interruptions. They also feature hand-scraping and saw marks to give them a distressed texture, enhancing them with depth and a weathered appeal. Engineered bamboo is made of a compressed layer of bamboo adhered to a manufactured core, resulting in a stable composition. Bamboo flooring is also durable, with a high hardness rating that will be reassuring if you live in a bustling household.You can install this quick-click flooring on any level of your home. While some experienced DIYers might tackle this project on their own, we generally recommend professional installation for bamboo flooring. Mix up the planks from multiple boxes before you install them to ensure an even distribution of the bamboo's natural variations. Over a wood subfloor, we recommend laying it over approved underlayment for sound and thermal properties. If you're laying the floor over concrete, use a premium moisture mitigating adhesive. Once your flooring is in place, you can maintain it by sweeping or vacuuming (without a beater bar or harsh bristles) and occasionally cleaning with Bellawood Cleaner, a neutral solution. With care and regular maintenance, your bamboo flooring will retain its beauty for years to come.Remember that lighting makes all the difference!
