Quality Bamboo Flooring

Bamboo flooring is recently becoming the prefer type of hardwood flooring that people purchase.  Bamboo is not only extremely strong and durable, but also environmentally friendly and easy to produce.  There are many companies that sell bamboo flooring.  If you wish to purchase bamboo flooring, you should get it from a company that manufactures the bamboo.  One such company that offers this is called Teragren.

Teragren has been involved in bamboo flooring since 1994.  They do not import their bamboo.  They actually manufacture their own bamboo.  This is better because many other bamboo flooring companies merely import their bamboo from somewhere else.  This means that the other companies bamboo may not all be the same and would result in different quality and looks of the bamboo flooring they produce.  With Teragen, this does not happen and you will always have the same look and quality bamboo flooring.

Teragren harvests their bamboo at the proper times to ensure the best quality of bamboo for their bamboo flooring.  The perfect timing of the harvesting (along with selecting the proper species of bamboo) results in bamboo flooring that much stronger than most wood flooring. Teragren bamboo is 25% harder than Red Oak and 12% harder than American Red Maple.  This is also because Teragren waits until the bamboo is fully matured at 5 to 6 years old.  Rather than some manufactures that harvest the bamboo at 3 years old.  Harvesting bamboo too early results in poor bamboo flooring that is soft and easily damaged.

All Teragren bamboo flooring is finished with a 5 coat Aluminum-Oxide and Polyurethane finish.  This bamboo flooring's finish is backed with a stunning 25 year residential finish warranty and a 5 year commercial finish warranty.  This is much better than the typical finish you get with any other bamboo flooring finish.

All bamboo flooring has formaldehyde in it.  The formaldehyde is in the adhesive used to laminate the bamboo slats together when forming the bamboo flooring planks.  Formaldehyde is a carcinogen and is dangerous in high levels.  The formaldehyde level of the adhesive used by Teragren is 48 times lower than the OSHA (The United States Department of Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires. 

Teragren goes out of its way to ensure the highest quality and standards of all of its bamboo flooring products.  With Teragren, you know you are getting the best bamboo flooring available.  You know that your bamboo floor will be one of the strongest, longest lasting, most durable, and safest (with regards to chemicals) on the market.  The warranties that come with all of the bamboo flooring are an even greater added benefit.  With all of this in mind, you are going to be glad you chose Teragren as the manufacture of your new bamboo floor.
