Consider Morning Star bamboo flooring for your next upgrade

In another article we started talking about strand woven bamboo flooring and while researching it my eyes were opened pretty wide. I couldn't believe all the positives I kept hearing about bamboo flooring. All the big, important topics were in bamboo's favor: price, ease of installation, durability, hardness and ecologically superior to traditional hardwoods. So here is another hub on the virtues of a particular company's bamboo flooring, Morning Star bamboo flooring. 

Why is morning star bamboo flooring am option that you need to consider. I'll get the environmental aspect out of the way right away. Nothing can come close to bamboo as a consumer product. Compared to other types of wood products, hardwoods in particular, bamboo can grow very quickly and does not need a small army of tree planters. Because bamboo is actually a grass and not a tree it spontaneously regenerates. Perhaps spontaneously isn't the correct word, it won't appear out of thin air but like all grasses, once the root system is established you can cut down the top part and the roots will simply sprout up new shoots. Also unlike typical hardwoods, you won't need to wait a whole generation to harvest. Bamboo will mature and be ready for harvesting every four or five years.

Morning star bamboo flooring is a product that has been around a long time though is only now, thanks to the green interior design movement, is making headway in popular media. Like most engineered flooring it comes with a coating (many coats actually) of aluminum oxide, making it very scratch resistant. 

Will installation be a problem? Hardly. Your contractor will probably have a favorite method of installing flooring and morning star bamboo flooring will make it easy on him. It installs in just about any method; be it old style tongue and groove or floating floor click-together style, glue or no glue, nailed or only nailed at the edges - an installers dream, he gets to decide.

Some folks seem to think that engineered flooring needs special care when it comes to cleaning. Quite the opposite, since morning star bamboo flooring is a natural wood product and not a type of pressed board or synthetic board, it will stand up to any cleaning method. In fact this flooring is so easy to maintain and is so damage resistant that the manufacturer guarantees it for thirty years! And when you make your order it's not just a bunch of planks. You will have a terrific selection of trim detail, fireplace detail, stair planks and stair noses, room to room thresholds, t-molds, reducer strips and more. All that you need to get those finishing details just right.
