A Bamboo Transformation

stories
A homeowner who recently installed our Engineered Earth Bamboo Flooring called us up extremely happy with the look, and we were able to set up a professional photo shoot. Though we don’t have before and after, the finished effect is outstanding. Jump down to the gallery.
Earth is one of our newest products. It is a 9/16″ engineered strand bamboo plank. One of the really great things about strand bamboo (aside from its natural durability) is how it can be manufactured to look like a hardwood. A lot of people want the sustainability and toughness of bamboo, but don’t necessarily like the look of bamboo. Two other traditional styles are either Vertical or Horizontal. In both, you get a bit of the expected bamboo ‘knuckles’ from where the bamboo shoot was segmented.Strand bamboo is made differently to the others.
Strand bamboo is made—as you’d expect—from thin strands of bamboo, mashed together into a log, and then sliced into a veneer that is laminated onto the wood flooring core. The pattern it makes is more random, a bit more like a hardwood. Add a little distressing, color, and a UV lacquer, and what you end up with is some of the most amazing flooring you will find anywhere.
Currently we offer Strand Bamboo in four different styles: Earth (the dark brown you see here), Ash (a really nice neutral grey), Carbonized (a light warm tan), and Natural (a lighter, more honey-colored tan).

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.
