EXPANSION
GAPS
Leave at least 1/4” expansion spaces between ooring
and ALL vertical objects (walls, cabinets, pipes, etc.)
Large ooring runs may require additional expansion
space. Transition pieces become optional with
Glue-Down method. Undercut door jambs and casings
to provide adequate expansion space. Cali Bamboo®
does not recommend screwing or nailing cabinetry or
other permanent xtures to ooring.
