Installing floating bamboo flooring?

Are you sure you started with the correct edge on the very first board. As I recall, one edge is intended to be the "down" board and the other is the one you snap into it. Try reversing what you are doing and see what happens. You should not have to lift any board other than the new one you are snapping into the other which is flat on the floor.



Another way to put it is, if you are starting on one wall, it is important which edge is against (of course allowing for the required expansion space) the wall and which is toward the room side.
Reply:first thing id do when installing floating flooring is not to attach the end piece first. attach the long part of the flooring as close to the end piece without attaching it then use your tapping block to tap the end piece into place and long piece also tapping block means tapping you shouldn't have to hit it hard to make it lock, if you have to hit it hard it probably has a something in the groove i check each piece for burrs and bits of paper before installing, even string will keep it from locking together.
