Topic "Mohawk Strand Bamboo Separation" a message from jtraviss09

This is my first post, so please be kind.

I had a floating Mohawk Strand Woven Bamboo floor installed by a licensed installer in North Texas. Since the installation, each winter we see separation at specific points in the floor. After the first winter, the installer returned to "re-seat" the flooring. During the second winter, we had the same problem in the same areas. Two inspectors were sent and both reported that the installation did not meet the requirements of the installation guide. The installer decided that there are only 2 options: 1 - install t-molding thresholds at the locations showing the problem, 2 - install tile in the foyer to reduce the continuous length of the bamboo floor. Neither of these options appeal to us as both result in a non-continuous floor.

Are there any other options that would allow us to retain a continuous, single material floor? We love the look of our floor, but obviously we cannot have the floor separating. Has anyone used a combination of glued & floating to effectively reduce the continuous length?
