Bamboo isn’t the first material that springs to mind when considering a new work surface for the kitchen but Teragren‘s bamboo countertops prove to be stiff competition for traditional hardwoods.

Teragren worktops are made from Optimum 5.5® Moso bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource that averages 25 percent harder than red oak and 12 percent harder than North American maple.

Durable, environmentally friendly and distinctive, the bamboo worktops aren’t restricted to use in the kitchen, they also make ideal store fixtures, shelving, conference tables and reception desks. There are three designs to chose from including Traditional, Strand or Parquet and a variety of textures and hues. Because Teragren is a manufacturer the worktops can be made to your exact specification at the Teragren factory in Zhejiang province of China.
