Putting Bamboo Flooring above fire place...

The bamboo floor covering feels very lovely under your feet. In addition, it is very light. However, I know that it absorbs odors or liquids well. You will need to be careful when lighting a fire in the fireplace. You will also need to make sure that the guests do not spill dark liquids on the floor. Otherwise, the bamboo will absorb all the liquid, and the color will remain on the floor. When we called the floor laying company from https://www.123floor.co.uk, they warned us that it was not very thoughtful to put a bamboo floor in the kitchen, so we laid the foundation in the living rooms with bamboo and left laminate flooring in the kitchen and by the fireplace.

Hi Everyone, a customer has asked me to put a shelf made from some excess bamboo flooring she has above her fire place. I was wondering how I should attach it to the wall? Finish Nails? Nail Gun and Glue? Some other type of adhesive? Any suggestion?

 

The bamboo is only 4" wide with tongue/groove. I will be cutting it down to 3 1/2" wide. It is a 1/2" thick. It would go above her tile which is wrapped around on the wall of her fire place. She has no mantle.

Have you tried sticking it with a glue gun?
