Earth Day warrants a post about a green product. I like Teragren for bamboo flooring. Teragren has flooring choices in many colors and durability for home or commercial installation. Their Signature Naturals are a good choice in natural and caramelized bamboo, also in flat grain or vertical grain. These floorings are also made with low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) laminating glues and finishes. They meet LEED® IEQ (indoor air quality) Credit 4.4.
Bamboo is considered a sustainable timber because it grows so quickly. It grows and can be harvested in pace with the demand for products made from bamboo. It is the fastest growing woody plant in the world—it spreads by underground rhizomes and can grow three to four feet in a single day. It is native to hot tropical regions like East Asia, northern Australia, and India.
Teragren’s website has a glossary of terms which is helpful if you want to learn more. Their product is locally available at Ecohaus.
