Colorado's arid climate and high altitude mean that low humidity is a primary concern for bamboo flooring. Significant temperature fluctuations and consistently dry air can cause materials to contract. It is essential that bamboo flooring is properly acclimated to the dry indoor environment of your Aurora or Thornton home before installation. We prioritize this step, as it is critical to preventing future issues such as gapping or warping, ensuring your bamboo floor remains stable and visually appealing in the Colorado climate.
Colorado's low humidity can cause bamboo flooring to contract. Proper acclimation of the material to your home's indoor environment for at least 48 hours before installation is essential. We also advise on maintaining consistent indoor humidity levels to help the floor maintain its stability.
