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.
Greena Bamboo Bamboo Flooring Flooring FAQs
Everfloor’s Greena Bamboo flooring is an environmentally friendly floor covering designed to last a lifetime. It features 10 scratch-resistant coatings with added UV protection and an extremely strong core through an incredibly strict manufacturing process. It surpasses the most stringent health and environmental standards, achieving the world’s lowest VOC emissions rating of E0.
Regularly clean the floor with a dust mop, soft bristled broom, or soft bristled vacuum cleaner. A dry mop is preferable to a traditional wet mop. This ensures that you’re not inadvertently adding water to the floor, which can damage the floor. Do not use wax, oil, soap, or any harsh abrasive cleaners. Furniture and area rugs should be regularly rearranged to ensure even aging of the flooring.
To make bamboo flooring, the bamboo is cut down and shredded into fiber strands. The strands are woven together and compressed under extreme pressure. The result is a solid block of strand woven bamboo which is then shaped into planks. Several lacquer layers are applied to protect the surface, and then the planks are equipped with a tongue-and-grove or click installation system.
