Beautiful, sustainable alternative to rainforest hardwoods

Teragren's Portfolio Collection of strand woven bamboo offers a stunning, environmentally-responsible alternative to exotic, rainforest-grown hardwoods. Available in 10 distinctive colors ranging from the hand-scraped honey brown of Hewn Tawny to the sleek depth of Midnight Black; with Teragren's Portfolio Collection there's an option to complement any style or color palette.

Unlike most bamboo suppliers who are mainly importers, Teragren develops and manufactures all of their own products, directly controlling quality from harvest to distribution through 11 separate checkpoints. But Teragren goes above and beyond.

The Portfolio strand bamboo is manufactured with a unique Xcora technology — the very best in product engineering utilizing the "hot press" (vs. cold press) system for high hardness ratings, moisture control and stability. As a result, the Portfolio series is 154% harder than red oak, making it an ideal option for high-traffic areas in both residential and commercial environments.

The Xcora technology includes a 7-coat German finish which provides a wear layer of abrasion-resistant aluminum oxide, plus two scratch-resistant, polyurethane topcoats that protect the bamboo fiber's natural strength and beauty. Its finish is water-based and solvent-free, and its adhesives emit substantially less formaldehyde than is present in ambient air. In addition, the Välinge-patented, glueless, self-locking system allows the flooring to be quickly installed and floated on, above or below grade.

Portfolio is FloorScore-certified, one of the most rigorous air quality standards in the world. FloorScore ensures the quality of indoor air for schools and offices and meets stringent standards for 78 volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
