Installing hard flooring in the galley

[erniecarpet@...]

Dick, no problem in our coaches to install your bamboo. If you are gluing it
down, just spread enough adhesive that you can install in about 15 minutes.
Once that stuff gets a tack to it, you can rest asssured, that your job will
be a nightmare. I dry fit and cut the material first- especially around the
cabinets. Makes life easier. If you are using the floating method- take your
time and leave a little gap under the cabinets for expansion/contraction. Any
morehelp you need, just ask.
Oh- and don't forget to get the 10,000 staples up.~

I would like to install bamboo 3/8" (nom) flooring in the galley area and am
interested what the best way is to anchor it down as well any prep. info/advice.
Obviously, the floor needs to be clean and smooth. Beyond that I am not sure
how to proceed.

It seems like someone on one of the forums has had some first hand experience
with this.

Thanx

Dick there was a thread on just this topic not long ago. Not sure if it was
here on Ernies or on Randy's site. Bamboo was discussed specifically as I
recall

Thanks all who replied. We used a product like Liquid Nails and also used a
brad nailer to keep the bamboo in place till the glue cured. This system worked
well so we will see how it holds up. Believe it or not, the hardest part was
the quarter round and it's little tiny pieces.

Looks good.
