How to DIY This Floor?
The easiest DIY floors are floating floors like this one! They click lock together and don’t need glue or nails - they're super easy to install and if you make a mistake, you can simply un-click them and redo it. Floating floors include laminate floors, hybrid floors, bamboo floors and even engineered timber (if you are after real wood).
What tools do I need to DIY this type of floor?
The most important tools are:
Drop Saw and / or Table Saw - to cut the floorboards and are available for $150 at most hardware stores, or you can borrow one.
Ruler or Set Square - to measure how much you need to cut for the end planks near the walls.
Pencil & Eraser - to draw the cutting lines when you reach the last planks of each row.
Other “nice-to-haves” include a DIY Flooring Kit (available at Floor venue), spirit levels, tape measures, safety equipment, and work gloves.
Pro installation tips
Floor Levelling - the subfloor refers to what you intend to lay the flooring directly over and is often concrete slabs, plywood, yellow tongue or even existing floorboards. Proper subfloor preparation is very important and you should:
Clean the subfloor
Check subfloor evenness (to prevent creaking and long-term joint damage)
Underlay - is typically a soft rubber or foam material that goes underneath the floor and provides noise protection. If you live in an apartment block, your strata may have acoustic underlay requirements that you must confirm before a project.
Expansion Gaps - between the floor and the walls to allow for natural expansion and shrinkage due to temperature and moisture changes. Consider:
Plank Width - wider planks have more expansion and should be given a slightly bigger expansion gap within the range below.
Environmental Moisture - if relative humidity is high, we recommend increasing the expansion gap size.
BT Engineered Wideboard Category FAQs
Our Engineered BT Bamboo floors are only manufactured using specially selected bamboo harvested from sustainable plantations. We also ensure these bamboo stalks have been grown to maturity in order to optimise strength and quality of our products. The layers are also cross laminated in order to increase stability of flooring, to levels that are much stronger than hardwood or other solid bamboo flooring. Furthermore, environmental sustainability is at the forefront of our minds. Our planks meet international standards of E0 emissions, to ensure the air you breathe is always fresh and clean.
Bamboo floors are not waterproof. As such, ensure cleaning methods you use do not involve the use of excess water. For example, make sure you wring out wet mops before cleaning. Utilisation of a dust mop can be a great dry alternative, as well as more effective than sweeping, as dust particles stick to the surface of the mop. In order to keep your floors looking brand new, one great method is the use of furniture leg padding. They will cover and hide any abrasive edges in your furniture away from floors, minimising the risk of scratches which may accumulate over time.
Engineered bamboo flooring is constructed from a veneer of bamboo fibres pressed together at very high pressures, which are then attached to a plywood base for superior dimensional stability against moisture ingress or temperature fluctuations.. Bamboo floorboards offer many benefits including it’s incredible durability which exceeds even the strongest hardwoods by three times! They are also recognised as a more sustainable floor covering as bamboo grows back much faster than traditional hardwood and oak trees.
