Bamboo Flooring Care & Maintenance
Protection and Maintenance
Bamboo Lasting beauty can be achieved through purchasing a quality floor covering and providing proper on-going maintenance.
Natural
Properties
Fading: Bamboo contains organic pigments. Just like
other wood products, bamboo will fade and should never be exposed directly to
sunlight. Where possible, use drapes or other systems to protect your floor from
excessive light.
Joints: Wood floor systems expand and contract in
response to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Controlling the
environment, maintaining an adequate temperature and relative humidity around
50%, will minimize the visible effects of normal contraction and expansion.
