How to Glue Down a Bamboo Floating Floor

    • 1). Choose a moisture-resistant floor adhesive. These will most commonly be urethane-based but don't necessarily have to be. Make sure that you do not use water-based adhesives on the bamboo flooring.

    • 2). Clear away any dust and debris from the subfloor. Particles can get into the glue layer and affect how the bamboo planks are secured during the drying process.

    • 3). Starting at an outside wall, use a trowel to spread the adhesive in an even coat. It is not necessary to cover the entire floor at once. Divide the room into sections and finish one completely before moving on to another; otherwise the glue will dry before you can manage to lay all the flooring.

    • 4). As soon as the glue is spread, begin laying the bamboo planks down, with the groove on the planks facing the wall.

    • 5). If any excess glue seeps up between the planks while laying them down, use a wet towel to wipe it away before it begins to set.

    • 6). Carefully walk across the finished portion of the flooring, taking small steps to ensure that every part of each plank makes full contact with the adhesive layer.

    • 7). Allow the glue to fully set, and wait at least 24 hours before allowing people to walk on the floor.
