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.
The proven quality of these products allows Teragren LLC to offer a 25-year
structural commercial and residential warranty, a 25-year residential finish
warranty, and a 5-year commercial finish warranty. Note: This warranty does not
apply to the company's "Builder's Choice" or "Rustic #1 Common Bamboo
Flooring". The warranty on these products is 25-year structural, 7-year
residential finish and 3-year commercial.
