Synergy™
Solid-strip strand bamboo flooring with Xcora™ technology for commercial and residential interiors

3-3⁄4" x 24", 36", 48" and 72" lengths,
solid-strip strand

Synergy™ strand bamboo flooring with Xcora™ technology is manufactured under a process that fuses bamboo fibers with an environmentally safe adhesive under extreme pressure to form homogenous, high-density sheets that are sliced and milled into flooring planks. As a result, Synergy™ with Xcora™ technology is 154 percent harder than red oak, making it perfect for high-traffic areas in both residential and commercial settings. Synergy™ strand bamboo flooring is available in four distinctive blends of bamboo strands—Wheat (natural), Chestnut (caramelized), Java (light and dark caramelized strands) and Brindle, a beautiful blend of natural and caramelized strands. The 7-coat German finish includes 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.

Synergy is also FloorScore®-certified, one of the most rigorous air quality standards in the world. FloorScore® ensures the quality of indoor air for high performance schools and offices and meets stringent standards for 78 volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Now it ensures the same high quality of air for you.
