I've had this installed in my house and I'm having the same problems. The product is defective! It shrinks, separates, and the clicking magnesium does not hold which causes the boards to separate and cannot be fixed unless the boards are removed.

Not to mention the formaldehyde that is used in the adhesive which is 4 times the level and a carcinogen that can cause cancer.

Home Owner, Mansfield, OH Home Owner, Beachwood, NJ Agent, Boca Raton, FL Home Buyer, Wilmington, NC Home Buyer, Longmont, CO We have put in Morning Star lumber liquidators bamboo flooring in one room in our house over a year ago - have had no problems. When they first installed, they checked for moisture in the floors and found it too high & had to come back later. Perhaps one problem with some people is the floor installers didn't do their job correctly? We live in Colorado, a very dry climate - very little humidity - no problems with buckling or anything. I've read some stuff about bamboo floors becoming too dry, but it looks as beautiful as the day it was installed! There have been a few light scratched from moving a chair without padded bottoms across it. I used a slightly dampened rag to buff it and it came out. There's still a light dent, but hardly noticeable. I think you've just got to be careful and care for bamboo floors just like any other hardwood floors.

I've heard about the formaldehyde concerns, but haven't experienced any ill effects (yet...), I heard that formaldehyde comes out if you try to sandpaper the floor in order to refinish it. "Morning Star uses urea formaldehyde, which information indicates emits more gas than the other form of formaldehyde. However, I do not know what is considered to be a safe level of emission. The data I received was provided by Lumber Liquidators and is titled Material Data Safety Sheet.

If you are looking for an eco-friendly, affordable, and attractive material for your bathroom, take a look at bamboo. As eco-friendly design gains in popularity, the selection of "green" flooring materials continues to increase and become more stylish. When it comes to choosing a bathroom floor, many homeowners are investing in bamboo, a unique and eco-conscious material that is durable, affordable, and looks equally great in modern or traditional spaces.

Bamboo is a fast-growing and sturdy tree-like grass, making it a highly renewable resource. This appeals to homeowners interested in environmentally friendly flooring, but also has benefits for the budget-minded. Bamboo costs as little as half the price of other hardwood floors. That's because it can grow to full height and be harvested in as little as 3 years, while hardwood trees can take 50 to 100 years to reach maturity. Bamboo flooring is either solid or engineered. Horizontal and vertical construction use bamboo shoots in their natural state, glued uniformly either horizontally or vertically, to create boards that look like natural bamboo. Solid bamboo floors are more prone to water damage and generally not advised for wet environments, like bathrooms. Strand-woven boards are made of shredded bamboo that's compressed under pressure to form boards. While more durable than solid bamboo, caution should still be used in bathrooms, such as using a good topcoat and placing mats by the bathtub and sink.

These solid (or semi-solid) forms of bamboo can all be left in their natural light blonde state or stained to any color. When the floors begin to show signs of wear, they can be refinished with a light sanding and new finish coat. How many times the floor can be refinished depends on the thickness of the planks. To keep bamboo floors clean, sweep regularly and damp mop as needed. Unlike horizontal, vertical, and strand-woven bamboo floors, engineered bamboo planks are extremely durable and ideal for wet environments. The construction involves slicing bamboo stalks thinly and then gluing them to a backing material, creating a veneer that is sandwiched between waterproof wear layers. Engineered flooring looks quite similar to solid bamboo but is far more durable and easy to maintain. Most often available in click-together tiles, it is easy to install for even novice DIYers and damaged pieces can be replaced easily. The biggest downside to engineered bamboo is that it cannot be refinished.
