bamboo florring and concrete subfloor

Got a link for the material? Some flooring types need to expand and contract. Some need a _quality_ glue. Both can be bamboo, I suppose.

Wooden flooring is generally glued to some sort of cushion and the cushion is glued to the subfloor. If the wood is glued directly to concrete, something's gotta give as the humidity changes. I've heard a wooden floor may expand as much as 1/2" inch as the humidity goes from 30% to 60%.

Instead of message boards and usenet, I've a novel thought.

Go to the site(s) of the manufacturer(s) of the product(s) you're interested in and get the skinny on installation from those who are in position to know.

Some quality glues have a moisture inhibitor/blocker.

Over concrete a floating floor installation is usually recommended over a moisture barier layer. You can get click-together bamaboo which is a floating installation. This example is from a Canadian distributer..

Right. I was refering to humidity in the AIR.
