Veneer + edge banding

Unfinished furniture-grade bamboo veneer

Teragren bamboo veneer matches our vertical and flat grain flooring and panels and is ideal for custom cabinetry, furniture construction, interior paneling, counter tops and tabletops.

Teragren bamboo veneer offers the custom woodworker another fine material to be used in cabinetry, furniture, interior paneling, countertops and many more interior applications where hardwood might traditionally be considered. Available with or without high-quality paper fleece backing, Teragren bamboo veneer machines nicely, finishes cleanly and can be cut for use as edge banding. It is safe to use in your work or home environment because the manufacturing adhesives emit less formaldehyde than allowed by U.S. OSHA, European E0, CARB Phase 1 and Phase 2 and Japanese JIS/JAS (F****) emissions standards.
