Teragren's wide-plank engineered strand bamboo has been rated Best Buy 5 years in a row by a major consumer magazine because of its durability and low emissions. Teragren develops and manufactures all of their own flooring and accessories, directly controlling quality from harvest to distribution through 11 separate checkpoints. Unlike bamboo importers whose products seem to change color and quality with every new harvest and manufacturing technique, For 15 years, Teragren has produced the highest quality strand bamboo flooring, with a proven track record of consistency and reliability in performance. This is why they are highly respected and specified by more architects and designers than any other brand.

The Neotera Collection is manufactured with a state-of-the-art 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 Neotera series is 160% harder than red oak hardwood flooring, making it an ideal option for high-traffic areas in both residential and commercial environments. Teragren Neotera bamboo flooring can be glued or nailed on, above or below grade.

The Xcora technology also employs a 16 coat Glaze Tek German finish which provides a layer of abrasion-resistant aluminum oxide, plus 12 scratch-resistant, polyurethane topcoats that protect the bamboo fiber's natural strength and beauty. This finish is water-based and solvent-free, and its adhesives emit substantially less formaldehyde than is present in ambient air.

Neotera is FloorScore-certified, which is 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).
