Bamboo Flooring

topic posted Thu, November 23, 2006 - 7:35 PM by  offlineLeo
Hey folks,
I'm about to install a bamboo floor in a MC-8, a late 70's MCI coach bus. Does anyone have any helpful ideas for this process. I haven't pulled up the linoleum yet but I believe it has a 3/4" plywood subfloor. If anyones got any experience with any tips they picked up along the way it would be most appreciated.

Thanks

    I'm putting bamboo in my bedroom. Its the click lock stuff on 1/8 cork floor on the 3/4 plywood. So far I like it and its inexpensive for the job. I'm not sure I want it through the whole bus but once the bedroom is done if I really like it I'll do so.
    My only advice, make sure the floor is FLAT. Kinda a no brainer there :\
    Good luck!

      Naw. Ran out of funds before the end of the year due to her being in the shop for a couple months. Right now I got other issues but hopefully, my neighbor will be helping me finish some stuff next month.

        Have any of you put down this type of flooring yet? Looks like a good option.

        Carpet would be a nightmare for me (camping/burningman)

        Paint and getting the AC's going before spring are my present critical path items so I can work inside in comfort(near Houston)
