Bamboo flooring may be all the rage but there are several issues to be considered when choosing a manufacturer. There is no official U.S. or international grading system for bamboo flooring, importers can come and go, quality can be inconsistent, high formaldehyde levels negate bamboo’s environmental advantages, finishes can vary and worker conditions on plantations can be appalling.
One company, Teragren, has its environmental and manufacturing act together and has been providing quality bamboo flooring for over tens years. The company was recognized as one of Inc. Magazine’s Green 50, a select list of companies that meets high standards in business, green manufacturing practices and innovation.
Teragren flooring products are readily available through a variety of retail flooring outlets. Their bamboo is harvested only at maturity (5 to 6 years). Teragren bamboo products contribute to certification under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® rating system. The company’s flooring products and business practices are both healthy and environmentally conscious. Teragren provides a five year warranty on its flooring and veneers and offers a full range of coordinating flooring products.
