Teragren Bamboo Flooring and Panels

There are several key reasons why products from Teragren perform better than the competitors:

• Teragren bamboo products are always made from the same species of bamboo, commonly known as Moso. In addition, they are manufactured in only one plant to the company's stringent specifications -- always to the highest standards for quality.
  
• The factory's processes are fully westernized, and it is ISO 9001:2000 certified for its management practices.
• The bamboo Teragren uses is harvested only at maturity -- every six years -- when the fiber density is such that it will ensure a durable floor. If the bamboo is harvested too soon, the fiber is immature which results in "softer" or less durable bamboo flooring.
• Teragren's adhesive technology allows its products to be virtually formaldehyde-free. Testing shows levels are 6.5 times below stringent E1 (European) indoor-air standards.
• Teragren bamboo products contribute to certification under the U.S. Green Building Council's rating system as MR Credit 6: Rapidly Renewable Materials and IEQ Credit 4: Low-Emitting Materials. The LEED system has been widely adopted for rating new and existing commercial, institutional and high-rise residential buildings by major corporations, federal, state and local governments and leading architects and builders.
• Teragren employs the full finishing system of a German manufacturer. The order of application is water-based primer; then anti-abrasive sealer with aluminum oxide; UV sealer; then two coats of scratch-resistant polyurethane for easy refinishing or recoating.
