Panels
Unfinished, furniture-grade bamboo hardwood
Vertical grain or flat grain panels in solid-stock or cross-ply, and strand panels with Xcora™ technology
Teragren bamboo panels lend simple elegance to custom furniture and cabinetry. They 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. All panels machine nicely, finish cleanly and won't harm your work or home environment because the manufacturing adhesives are either formaldehyde-free (selected products now in stock) or emit less formaldehyde than allowed by U.S. OSHA, European E0, CARB Phase 1 and Phase 2 and Japanese JIS/JAS (F☆☆☆☆) emissions standards. All are unfinished except the 1' x 6' x 5/8" panel which has a water-based, solvent-free finish.

LEED® v3 credit
MR 6: Rapidly Renewable Materials—QUALIFIES
Teragren products qualify because they are made with Optimum 5.5® Moso bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource sustainably harvested at maturity between 5 1/2 and 6 years
IEQ 4.4: Low-Emitting Materials—STRAND AND SPECIAL-ORDER PRODUCTS QUALIFY
Strand panels qualify; other panels are available manufactured with a LEED® IEQ 4.4-compliant formaldehyde-free adhesive. Select products are in stock or by special order only
Environmental Impact
Select products in stock or by special order are available with formaldehyde-free adhesive. Low-off-gassing formaldehyde manufacturing adhesive used in other products is substantially lower than stringent E0 standards
Water-based, solvent-free finish
