Combining beauty and good looks with exceptional durability, Bamboo Strand, made of 100% bamboo, is particularly suited for commercial environments, in an ever-expanding market for high-quality green building products
Mixing strands of bamboo with a low-VOC adhesive, bamboo Strand is manufactured using high levels of compression. With all strips oriented in the same direction, the shredded bamboo mass is thrashed and then, under extreme pressure, compressed by 75 percent to yield high-density planks. After a kiln-drying and milling process the planks are sanded and finished, giving them their trademark look

Palmwood comes from plantation grown coconut palms, which are in abundance throughout much of the world. Palms produce nuts for up to 80 years, then non-producing palms are removed and replaced. Coconut palmwood can vary greatly in color and density. We use only the hard, dark palm for our look and durable surface.
Palmwood plywood are made from multiple layers of palm, creating both stable and durable flooring and plywood products of great beauty, and contain no added urea formaldehyde
