Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 Sep 27, 2012 6:56 am After much deliberation, we've gone ahead and had bamboo flooring installed. The subfloor is plywood and during the install I noticed there was some slight unevenness, particularly at the joints. The installer insisted it would be alright, so I went along with it. Got up this morning and realised that the flooring wasn't parallel to the bottom of the door and decided to check it with a straight edge. Of course the flooring isn't perfectly even as per the subfloor, but not by too much. Made a few measurements where I remembered subfloor joints were and noticed some were similarly uneven. It's probably a 3mm difference. Is this something I should be concerned about? Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Bamboo flooring done!

So it sounds like the floor is within tolerance but there is a body that governs our industry called the ATFA (Australian Timber Flooring Association) and they can give you more info if you need it. You can also get them to come out & do an inspection but it costs about $400 for that. 1) I had requested R6 ceiling insualtion batts, however I noticed that on some areas there are huge gaps which will allow hot air to sweep in, and also noticed black/grey… 0 3585 Most of the time, council will push you out to a private certifier as it ties up their limited resources.
