Click-lock Longstrip Bamboo

Q: We recently installed springwood click-lock longstrip bamboo throughout our entire first floor. It looks like someone had on a high heal shoe, with perhaps a nail sticking out of it, and now there are small dents throughout the floor. Is there any way to fix this myself? We literally just finished laying the floor and had some people over, and the next day, while we were cleaning up, we noticed these small dents – everywhere! I read something about “screening and re-coating”; is there a recommended fix for this type of problem, other than refinishing the entire floor?
Thanks!
A: High heel shoes can be devastating to floors. Heels that have worn down or lost the protective cap, exposing the steel support rod, will dent and pit wood, fracture ceramic tiles or stone and perforate vinyl. A person in stiletto heels, weighing 125 lbs. exerts approx. 2,000 lbs. of pressure per square inch. As you can imagine, that can put dents into even the toughest of surfaces.
Over time, wear and tear a floor has experienced will blend in, much like on a car. The first dent or two on a new car will drive you crazy, but after a bit of time you ignore the little rock chips on the hood and the other small dents or scrapes it has taken. Unfortunately the only way to remove denting from a wood floor would be to refinish it. Depending on how extreme the dents are will depend on whether you will want to look into this or not. If the dents are small, as the bamboo ages they should blend in a bit; however, if they are a bit deep then they will remain apparent.
One tip here would be to ensure everyone removes their shoes in your home in the future to prevent any further denting to the bamboo.
