Key parameters and target values for quality assurance.
| Parameter | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture | Within spec | Test before cover |
| Compaction | Uniform layers | ≤150 mm lifts |
| Safety | PPE worn | Stop if unsure |
Moisture Check
Verify culm moisture below 18% with a meter before joinery — wet bamboo shrinks and cracks joints.
Consistency Check
Verify uniformity across all pieces — inconsistency is the most common quality issue.
Material Hazards
Read material safety data sheets (MSDS) before handling unfamiliar materials or chemicals.
Safety Notes
- Bamboo floor squeaks if joists uneven.
- Avoid direct ground contact without vapor barrier.
