Bamboo flooring discoloration  – Some Tips to Help Ensure Your Bamboo Floor Doesn't Just Fade Away

Whilst manufacturers now use advanced processes and treatments to prevent bamboo flooring discoloration, fading can still occur unless you take steps to protect your floor from the causes of color fade.  

Most importantly, it is necessary that preventative measures begin at the installation stage by making sure the sub floor is cured before starting to put down the flooring.

One of the biggest causes of bamboo floor discoloration is sunlight, so be sure to screen your flooring from the suns rays by installing blinds or screens, especially if the room that your floor is installed in faces the sun. 

Keeping the floors coating in good condition will provide good protection from color fade, this is easily accomplished with regular light cleaning as with any other floor.

You should also try and maintain humidity at a constant level, this can be done by installing a humidifier. Do try and remember that some discoloration of bamboo flooring is quite normal and usually happens as the floor ages, similar to many hardwood floors. By shielding the floor from the damaging elements the fading will often go unnoticed, as the process is very gradual.

By spending some time caring for your bamboo floor you will surely slow down the natural process and your flooring will continue to look its best for many years to come.
