In this post I am pleased to share a local company familiar to my firm, Faith Sheridan Interior Design, Seattle, WA. Teragren is my first choice for bamboo application in my projects and my experience is totally positive. (as is my clients) An exciting addition to the expansive product line, bamboo countertops, adds even greater diversity to the possible applications in design solutions.

Teragren is a U.S.-based manufacturer of fine bamboo flooring, panels, veneer and parquet butcher block located in Bainbridge, WA. Teragren is also a company on a mission.  The company defines success as not only high-quality products and excellent customer service but also environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing and business practices.

From the moment the company was founded in 1994, it committed to developing and manufacturing beautiful bamboo products.Bamboo flooring was a scant segment of the U.S. flooring market when avid environmentalists Ann and David Knight saw the need for environmentally sound building products. They co-founded the company they would eventually name Teragren.

In 2006, Teragren was named by Inc. magazine as one of “The Green 50″ companies that are setting the standard for environmentally friendly business, and as one of the top 10 local “Greentrepreneurs” by Seattle Metropolitan magazine. In addition, in August 2007, Teragren was named one of Inc. magazine’s 5,000 fastest growing companies in America.

U.S.-based Teragren is in a unique position because it develops and manufactures their own products. This allows quality control from harvest to distribution and provides you the highest quality bamboo flooring, trim, panels and veneer in the marketplace, as well as convenient documentation, tech support and custom orders.
