Morning Star Bamboo Flooring is one of the best bamboo floors on the market today. It is produced from old growth bamboo reeds that are at least 4 years old, thereby increasing hardness. Morning Star Bamboo Flooring creates a naturally beautiful and ecologically friendly product that evokes a feeling of luxury. Quick Highlights: Strand To make strand bamboo, shredded bamboo fibers are compressed under extreme heat and pressure. This manufacturing process yields flooring that is even harder and more dense than traditional bamboo floors. Available in a variety of colors to complement and décor, all Morning Star strand bamboo products are finished with premium coating and backed by a 30 year warranty. And, since bamboo is a naturally sustainable grass that re-grows spontaneously after harvest, you can feel good about making an environmentally friendly flooring decision.

My husband and I had this floor installed in over 800sq/ft of our home 4/13. Entryway, half/bath, kitchen and family room. I fell in love as soon as this floor was finished...then the scratches started showing up....everywhere. We have now turned our home into a shoe free zone and had to ban some of our childrens toys. Bottom line is that if you have small children (we have 4) any pets (dog) dont get this floor.

Best Uses
I'm an avid do-it-yourselfer but this was my first time with a nail-down floor. This was great product to work with. It is very dense, so a sharp blade on your miter saw is really important (depending on the job, you may want a spare blade handy). Because of the fiber type manufacturing, the tongue can tear out if you apply too much pressure with the hammer. Once you get a feel, it is pretty much smooth sailing. I set my nailer at 85psi and it worked like a charm. The floor looks great!

The nail-down installation was harder than anticicpated. [...].But now that it is in, it looks beautiful. Everyone comments on how much it improved the house.

It looks great; but any little scratch shows up in this dark finish. I bought the carbonized, clear/natural finish (it did not say it was stained; but seems to be) thinking it would not show scratches as easily. That still may be the case on deep scratches; but surface scratches show quite easily...
Pros

Best Uses
This is a great product that is highly attractive and very durable. We have two dogs, one of which is a 90+ lb Lab and we have no scratches after one year. The only con is that it does show dust/dog hair, but the look of it outweighs the cons.

This flooring is very durable and looks great in any room. Wonderful color, however lacks the shine you would get from say the cherry woods. However, it's Eco friendly and will last a very long time.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

the bamboo dark wood floor is attractive but impossible to keep clean. Any kind of liquid stain will take several attempts to remove. The floor also seems to scratch off easily. If something hits the floor, a piece of the wood will chip off. Having had hardwood floors for many years, I'm surprised and dissapointed with this product. I wish I had asked about stains and that I had been told about the stains issue. It appears that if liquid hits the floor, it gets under the top layer? I do not recommend this product.

Q:
We put radiant heat in our kitchen under a wood sub floor. Over it we are putting the morning star Qing dragon strand bamboo. If we use gradual heat to get the floor adjusted should this be ok to use for radiant heating?1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Engineered wood and floating floors (floors not attached to the subfloor) are recommended for radiant heat. However, if you should choose to use solid bamboo for this application note that even species with better dimensional stability characteristics cannot predictably be guaranteed to perform well over radiant heat. Therefore, solid bamboo applications over radiant in-floor heat is not recommended nor warranted. Because of the wide array of in-floor heating systems on the market each with its own features and limitations please consult with your radiant flooring provider for installation methods and application advice.Q:

CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Lumber Liquidators does not recommend "Water brooms" "Wet-Jet Swiffers or steamer type cleaners on laminates, corks or hardwood floors. Although steamers may work well cleaning OTHER types of hard surface flooring, the 130° to 240° heated steam vapor can ruin wood or urethane finish resulting in warped or cupped flooring. Water and wood do not mix well, especially steam. Use these products at your own risk.Q:
