To start, you want to\u00a0lay the first row on the straightest wall. Each plank has one side with a groove and one side with a tongue. Place the groove side facing away from the wall. You&#8217;ll connect the planks with the lower drop lock end on the bottom and the upper drop lock end on top. Once the first row is complete, cut the following planks to create a staggered look. If you experience any gaps while connecting the planks, use your mallet and tapping block to close the gaps. Continue this process until your floor is complete.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-115875 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/727412f5f30eb8e2f8e19e9ca1b7a748.jpg\" alt=\"bamboo flooring\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Flooring Features<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-115878 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60cd23d02547d7c3202560794d0cbb59.jpg\" alt=\"bamboo flooring\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I love that this flooring has great color, a lot of dimension\u00a0and has a scratch-resistant layer.
