Building better bamboo…for a brighter tomorrow.

News
Allwood is known for making exceptional wood flooring that lasts, and that includes our Bamboo products as well. While other manufactures may have been content with producing substandard bamboo, Allwood has never compromised on quality. Building superior bamboo flooring starts at the beginning with how it’s made and what it’s made from.
Here is how Allwood is building a better bamboo:
We have a scientist working on it…literally.
Hung Chen founded Allwood over 20 years ago. But not before she attained her PhD in wood science. No, I mean it. She is an honest-to-god Wood Scientist. And it is through her, and her knowledge of wood, that Allwood has been able to develop products that last as long as they do; because they are made the right way. This includes building a better bamboo floor.

The species matters.
There are over 1000 species of bamboo. You would think that any one (or all) of them would be fine for making a decent floor. But, you’d be wrong. Only one is good enough for Allwood—the Moso. Moso bamboo trees are not your backyard variety bamboo, they are much bigger and stronger. When Moso matures over the course of about 5-6 years it produces the densest and hardest fibers of any other bamboo species. Although too stiff to be used in something like basket weaving, the strength of Moso makes it perfect for a product that needs to withstand many years of foot traffic. And we wait until the stalks are completely mature—when they reach about 50ft tall—before harvesting. Then the bamboo is kiln dried to 6-8% moisture content. Every single plank of Allwood bamboo is sourced from the same forest, by the same mill, in Anji, China. After 20 years, we’ve managed the production process to perfection. The result is a product that is extremely predictable, reliable and durable enough for heavy-duty flooring applications.

In addition to choosing the best grade of bamboo, the glues used to bind it all together are another critical component to making a quality product. Bamboo flooring is only as good as the bonding agents used to adhere the individual stalks together. Our superior adhesives not only bond correctly they also repel water and are CARB II compliant for formaldehyde. This way, Allwood bamboo is both durable and helps promote a Healthy Home.
Precision is key.
We’ve spared no expense and have invested heavily into the latest German milling technologies to achieve tight-yield, perfectly sawn planks to ensure minimum opportunity for movement and delamination. You won’t find small splits or gaps between the individual strips of Allwood bamboo.
Commitment to quality.
At Allwood we understand how important exceptional Customer Service is, and that’s why we stand behind our products 100%. Whether you are a home owner, an installer, or a retail store; you can rest easy knowing Allwood cares, and we will be there if you have an issue.

Amazing products is what we make. Helping others is what we love. Our Story

DEDICATION TO CARING

Our promise is really very simple...we care. We care about the products we make, the people we work with, and the planet we all share.

Caring is why we are very selective of who can sell Allwood products, because we know how hard our retail partners work and we want to forge lasting relationships with them. Concentrating on hand-picked showrooms in strategic locations, and giving them the tools they need, helps our partners to provide exceptional service and creates the best consumer experience possible.

And Caring is also why we focus on developing products that are responsibly produced, precision crafted, and sustainably made from 100% real wood or bamboo. Not only do we want to be good stewards of natural resources, we strive to be conscientious of what we are leaving behind as well. Wood is the only flooring product that comes from, and returns back to, the earth. That’s why you will never find printed laminates, plastics, or unnatural materials at Allwood.

Builders prefer working with Allwood products because they are made to exact quality standards. Designers appreciate the selection of relevant colors and styles. And home owners love that Allwood floors continue looking great even years after installation.

This dedication to caring has underscored our first two decades in business. And now, as we move into our next twenty years, it drives us even more to make the best floors we can—putting people and planet first.

BECOME A DISPLAYING RETAILER

You’ve seen our products. You like how they look. And maybe you are wondering how to become one of our trusted partners. It’s important you know we select only a limited number of retail locations within each region. That way, we can focus on quality, availability, and great service. And you can concentrate on helping your customers with less worry about other competitive retailers in your area. We also understand the value of showroom real estate and want to give you the tools you need without eating up valuable space.We try to create a complete product offering in a small footprint. For greater flexibility, we have multiple displaying programs that include the entire Allwood portfolio or separate programs for the Hardwood and Bamboo lines. The Allwood brand is growing rapidly, we are adding new partners all the time. So, if you are interested, make sure to contact us today at 1-503-255-7976 or CARE@Allwoodgrp.com.

CARB2 COMPLIANCE

The California Air Resources Board Phase 2 (CARB2) is a certification process by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) with an aim to reduce formaldehyde emissions and protect the public from airborne toxic contaminants. Gaining the CARB2 compliant seal indicates a product has formaldehyde levels well within what CARB2 limits considers safe. Fitting with our values, Allwood ensures all of our products either meet or exceed environmentally conscientious standards, and make the choice to have our products all CARB2 certified.
