Why Bamboo Plywood?

Bamboo Plywood is an excellent option when it comes to your furniture and cabinetry. Bamboo Ply is a super dense product, making it more durable than a lot of common hardwoods.

To outfit our bGreen Mobile Showroom we used Bamboo Plywood in several different applications - a kitchen cabinet, a bookcase, shelving, and a seating area. In all cases we were able to showcase the unique characteristics of bamboo.

We know what you’re thinking, if you love it so much why don’t you marry it?  We will consider this, but before we do let’s explore this Bamboo space a bit more. Let’s start off with the basics. Bamboo can grow 24 inches or more a day! In fact, a bamboo plant can reach full size within 3-4 months. This quality is what makes bamboo such a sought after product for the green building industry. Fast growth is a key to bamboo’s success, but if not harvested properly the result is a sub par product that doesn’t help the environment or the consumer.  

At bGreen we only use the highest quality Bamboo Plywood from leading brands like Teragren and Plyboo. Bamboo Ply is good for any room in your house. For more information and pictures, please visit our Bamboo Plywood section here.  If you are in the Boston area, we invite you to schedule an appointment at the bGreen Mobile Showroom to see this great product in person.

Closing out the week

Had a really good week.  

Quite a few orders for lifestyle products, ranging from water bottles to natural wool pillows.  One lucky customer got double what they ordered - our way of saying thanks for becoming a bGreen customer.

We sold a ton (well maybe a quarter ton, literally) of bamboo plywood to a customer currently in Arlington but moving to Somerville.  They’re going to use the bamboo ply to build a 12’ bookcase for a “man-cave” in their new home.  Awesome stuff.

We’re closing out the week with a meeting tonight with our business advisor from SCORE.  Lots to bring him up to speed on, and we’re going to enjoy a couple hard earned beers.
