GENERAL INFORMATION & AWARENESS
Bamboo flooring(http://www.floorproducer.com) from JadeMask: manufactured and packed in carton box at moisture content lower than 8%. Since bamboo flooring(http://www.floorproducer.com) is a natural product, the natural expansion and contraction, which is induced by the change of the ambient humidity and/or temperature, of each plank through seasons is considered normal and acceptable.
Acclimation of bamboo flooring on the job site: especially required for the application in a dry climate. A two to four week time frame for the job-site acclimation is recommended for the pre-finished regular bamboo flooring, such as laminated solid bamboo flooring. However, for the pre-finished strand woven (high-density) bamboo flooring, four to six week time frame is what JadeMask would like to suggest. This on-site acclimation process may be longer for a radiant heat system floor. JadeMask would also like to encourage our customers "having the planks out of the carton box and placing them in a good ventilation room; and, making sure that the heating/venting system is turned on as usual operation in the acclimation process". While racking or stacking the planks, avoid surface finish shin change of the exposed area from the unexposed area. Such shin variation is not covered under JadeMask material and product warranty.
Difference in moisture content between the bamboo flooring and the sub-floor: within 2%. For instance, if the bamboo flooring is at 7% moisture content, the moisture content of the sub-floor must be between 5% and 9%. Remember, acclimation of the bamboo flooring on the job site is our customer's full responsibility for any unpleasant shrinkage or expansion of the bamboo planks. Also, remember that the bamboo flooring is a natural product.
Industry standard of JadeMask flooring: applied for the grading deficiencies of up to 5%, regardless of whether the deficiency is of a nature or manufacturing.
Inspection of all purchased JadeMask’s flooring: done by the Installer prior to the installation. Do not install any material that has defects in quality, such as: color, finish, and/or structure, and notify JadeMask immediately.
Responsibilities of the owner, builder, contractor, or installer: ensure that the job site environment, including the sub floor and its surface, meets all applicable standards before installing bamboo flooring.
Temperature and humidity levels at the job site: set to normal living conditions as least for 7 days before the bamboo flooring installation and must be maintained at those levels after installation.
