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.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4 Qing Spyder Strand Bamboo:
I absolutely love these floors. We had almost are entire house done with the Qing Spyder flooring.
If you do not like to clean, then these floors are not for you! They will show everything, every spec of dirt and hair. They also scratch quite easily, you cannot drag anything across these floors, it will scratch them. This flooring I would not recommend in high traffic areas.
Service and delivery comments:
We had professionals install are flooring. Took them about 4 days(1000sq.ft.+) Had the floors glue to the slab.

This floor is in My bedroom. I wanted to to match my furniture and it looks incredible! My only issue is make sure you put felt pads on the bottom of your furniture so it down not scratch the floor.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4 Qing Spyder Strand Bamboo:
We used the Qing Spyder flooring in our master bathroom remodel. I wanted the look of hardwood but was nervous about the durability in a high moisture area. So, we went with strand bamboo and are loving it! The floor looks amazing. We've only had it one week but thus far, when we get water on it from the shower, it dries up quickly and with no spots! We haven't had problems with footprints leaving marks or anything. We love, love this floor! Our contractor had a tough time installing it and like many other reviewers said, it will "buckle" or bump up where the nail is inserted but it's not noticeable. The nail gun did not work with the flooring either. You've got to hand nail very carefully.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4 Qing Spyder Strand Bamboo:
We had this professionally installed, and it was glued down because we are on a concrete slab. I'm SO glad we didn't do it ourselves! The guys lumber liq recommended did an outstanding job, and were very professional. We installed this product throughout our entire 1st floor, which includes entryways, kitchen, closet, office, dining, family and bathrooms. It looks beautiful, and it shows multiple colors in the sunlight. It is dark so of course it shows all particles- but compared to the old carpet and linoleum we had before I appreciate being able to pick up the crumbs and cat hair with ease. There are a few ends of the board that show a bit of warping, but it isn't noticeable unless you stand and stare at it- it is a wood product and will have imperfections.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4 Qing Spyder Strand Bamboo:
After reading mainly positive reviews, I decided to go with the Spyder Bamboo. I looked at similiar products at other stores and found Lumber Liquidator to be by far the cheapest. The floor looks beautiful. I didn't install it myself. I had professionals install it, and it looks great. The negative reviews that I have read were concerned with scratches. Scratches and dirt are easily seen, but I consider it part of maintaining a beautiful floor. Having said all of this, I just recently installed this product, so I will have to see how it performs over time.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love the floors! Floors look great! They are hard to keep clean but only because they are dark and show every spec. They do scratch but not to the degree others on here have indicated. We have a dog and her nails dont scratch the floors at all. Now if a I take a knife and run it across the floor its going to scratch but not from day to day normal activities. Installer only had a couple issues with wood such as warp, size, etc. Go ahead and take the plunge, you wont regret it :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This product is great if you are looking for dark floors. Have a dark marker handy during install (Black Sharpie works good) to cover up a boo-boo. Make sure you use the size nails recommended, I went one size bigger because that is what they had at the rental place where I got the nail gun, I have a few spots on the seams that have a bump from the nails.

Beautiful finish, modern and sophisticated look. We have two teenagers and a 7 y/o. Be prepared to dust with a dry mop daily. However, the look is great. Our guest(s) first reaction is "Wow!"
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Q:
What type of adhesive options/brands do I have to install this bamboo flooring?1 answer
A:
You can find complete installation instructions (including recommended adhesives)on the product page by clicking on the specs tab and then clicking on - Installation Guide.pdfQ:
What is the formaldehyde rating on this product? What is the gas emission standard?1 answer
A:
The Morning Star has a Free Gaseous formaldehyde of less than 0.75 ppm, which is less than 0.1% which is significantly lower than the requirement set forth by the controlling councils.Q:
I am looking to install this on a 36 inch wide staircase. With no expansion gap, will it buckle at the seams? If yes, what can I do to avoid this from happening?1 answer
A:
No expansion space required for these small surface area.Q:
Do you recommend using this product in a bathroom?1 answer
A:
Due to the excessive moisture present in a full bath we cannot recommend any of our solid natural flooring or laminate products for this application, I would suggest one of our vinyl Tranquility products. We have a 2mm peel and stick and now a 4mm click together product that can go in full bath areas or where moisture is a concern. Thank you for your inquiry.Q:
Would you recommend this product for glue down on concrete on grade over engineered hardwood?1 answer
A:
Without knowing the moisture content of the substrate and the conditions of your jobsite I cannot make a recommendation.Q:
Can a urethane be applied to the surface of this product to help protect the finish and waterproof the joints?1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Prefinished hardwood, bamboo, engineered, and laminate flooring should not be sealed after installation and does void the warranty. Sealing between boards (seams) will crack during normal expansion and contraction. In addition sealer won't adhere to original finish unless it's lightly sanded (Not Laminate) and then use a water based flooring grade urethane. Or you would use a Bona Kemi prefinished floor resealing product. Www.bonakemi.com. However this is not recommended for pre-finished flooring unless it is worn and in need of refinishing.Q:
Are there any cleaning tools like a vacuum that can be used to clean/dust this floor? I have been cleaning on my hands and knees with a towel and the long handle flat mop with microfiber pad is not cleaning well either.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
For general cleaning a swiffer type system works best. Not one that sprays the floor however. Lightly damp is fine but never soak or flood mop your floor. Do not use steam mops. Have a no shoes policy as much as possible. Use felt pads on all furniture. Sweep often. Vacuum's without a beater bar will work or one where the beater bar can be turned off.Q:
Can it be installed in a partially covered outdoor space?1 answer
A:
All of our flooring products are intended for interior use only.Q:
What is the reccommened expansion gap for this product?1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The Expansion gap is normally the same as the thickness of the new flooring. 5/8" expansion gap.Q:
Is this black?1 answer
A:
1. Yes, the flooring is almost black. Our vanity is a very dark, dark espresso color and the flooring and vanity match perfectly. The Qing Spyder is like coffee bean color. |
