Experts in the company advice clients to understand what makes for a good bamboo product – they may “all look alike” but the quality and the companies providing them may not be. The quality and consistency in harvesting, milling, and color vary widely from company to company. Teragren, as a leader in the industry, tries to educate consumers of the great attributes of bamboo when manufactured correctly.
Strand bamboo has been the preferred bamboo in the last few years and will continue to lead over traditional grain bamboo. In part due to the increased hardness and the exotic wood-like appearance. The use of bamboo architectural grade panels has been increasing with uses as cabinetry, countertops, wall finishes and furniture construction being the predominant applications.
