Product catalog summary
Overview of Teragren Bamboo Products
Teragren bamboo products are renowned for their natural beauty, durability, and renewability. Each bamboo plank has unique color variations that can be creatively used in design or minimized for consistency during installation.
Product Characteristics
  • Xcora® Strand Bamboo: This flooring is 160% harder than oak, ideal for high-traffic areas, offering a hardwood-like appearance with superior durability.
  • PureForm™ Bamboo: Known for its classic bamboo look, this line is 40% harder than oak, suitable for family and office environments.
  • Engineered Bamboo: Composed of multiple layers, these floors are more dimensionally stable, reducing expansion and contraction.
Design and Practical Considerations
Teragren offers two main designs: traditional PureForm™ and Xcora® strand bamboo. Practical considerations include choosing between solid and engineered platforms based on location, sub-floor type, and installation method (nailing, stapling, gluing, or floating).
Product Lines and Specifications
  • Synergy® Wide Plank: Engineered, wide plank flooring that is 160% harder than oak, suitable for floating installation over acoustical underlayments.
  • Studio Vertical Grain: Engineered wide plank with a modern look, emphasizing natural color variation.
  • Craftsman II: Solid long and wide PureForm™ flooring with a traditional look, featuring a tongue and groove profile.
  • Portfolio Naturals: Solid wide plank Xcora® flooring with a classic appearance and high durability.
  • Signature Naturals: Solid narrow width PureForm™ flooring with a zen look, suitable for both floors and walls.
Installation and Maintenance
Teragren flooring can be installed over radiant heat using glue or float methods. It requires acclimation on-site for at least 48 hours and should be installed in environments with 35-55% relative humidity. Maintenance involves using recommended hardwood floor cleaners.
Warranty and Environmental Certifications
Teragren offers a 25-year residential and 10-year commercial finish warranty, along with a lifetime structural warranty. Their products are Floorscore® certified for indoor air quality and meet various LEED® criteria for sustainability.
Panels and Veneer
Teragren also provides architectural grade panels and veneer for cabinetry and furniture, available in PureForm™ and Xcora® styles, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional materials.
Countertops Overview
  • Parquet Butcher Block: Available in natural or caramelized finishes, these countertops are ideal for cutting surfaces and food prep areas. Made from durable, end-grain parquet, they are harder than maple and can be finished with food-safe mineral oil/beeswax or polyurethane.
  • PureForm™ Traditional Bamboo Countertop: These countertops feature a vertical grain caramelized face with a chestnut strand bamboo core or a vertical grain natural face with a wheat strand bamboo core. They are ideal for cutting surfaces and food prep areas, with a durable edge-grain design harder than maple.
  • Xcora® Strand Bamboo Countertop: Available with a chestnut or wheat strand bamboo face and a vertical grain caramelized core, these solid-surface countertops are suitable for kitchen counters, islands, table tops, or other furniture applications.
Specifications and Usage
  • All countertops are 1.5 inches thick and can be milled using standard woodworking tools. They can be used as tables or shelving with appropriate finishing on all sides.
  • Xcora® Strand tops are commonly used as table tops and can be finished with durable polyurethane for a robust surface.
  • For food-safe use, oil or wax finishes are recommended, especially if cutting directly on the surface, as polyurethane may shatter under knife pressure. Regular maintenance of oil and wax finishes is necessary, approximately twice a year.
The Teragren Difference

Characteristics of Teragren Bamboo Teragren bamboo is a natural product. Just like exotic hardwoods and other wood flooring, our bamboo products exhibit color variation between boards that is a direct result of natural color variation within the bamboo culms. As a result, no two planks are exactly the same. The natural inherent color variation and subtle tones of Teragren products can be viewed as a design advantage, where installers can deliberately arrange specific boards in each floor to create a beautiful aesthetic statement. Alternatively, to play down the color variation, floors should...
