Teragren bamboo panels, now with SCS Indoor Advantage™ Gold certification

Teragren's Scientific Certification Systems Indoor Advantage™ Gold-certified traditional and strand bamboo panels and veneer lend elegance to custom furniture and cabinetry with the benefit of the highest air quality rating. The IAG certification complies with the California Special Environmental Requirements Specification 01350, which is designed to ensure health through good indoor air quality and is also the United States' most stringent indoor air quality standard. These products conform to the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) IEQ 2.2 and CA Section 01350 Classroom Scenario and are Indoor Air Quality certified (Registration SCS.IAQ-01879).

These bamboo panels machine nicely, finish cleanly and offer the custom woodworker a wide variety of grains to complement any décor or project, from the serene consistency of vertical grain or the subtle interruptions of nodes in flat grain panels to the interplay of natural and caramelized fibers in our strand bamboo panels. Strand panels are made with Xcora™ technology for greater hardness, durability and stability. Teragren FSC-certified Traditional bamboo panels (vertical or flat grains) may be special ordered - allow 14-16 weeks lead time.  Traditional panels made with no-added-urea-formaldehyde adhesive are also available in stateside inventory.
