Hi - Tounge & Groove Bamboo Flooring

, 2008, 12:45pm
Hi,
Im going to be laying some tongue and groove bamboo flooring and floating it over the recommended underlay. Ive also purchased the recommended adhesive for gluing the T&G's but I have read that pressure needs to be applied for 10 - 15 minutes.
Can anyone advise as to the best way to apply this pressure?
Ive done loads of laminate stuff before but as its click-lock stuff theres no need for gluing, I just want to make sure I do a good job.
TIA

Hi,
I use these;

they are quick and easy to use. You can use speading clamps but they are a lot more hassle.

Many thanks, looks like a good piece of kit.
As I intend to start this job tomorrow do you know where I could pick one up from off the shelf by any chance?

Bessey clamps are a bit specialist, if you Google flooring clamps you may well find a local dealer, otherwise Screwfix do a budget version if you have an outlet nearby
