Project Location: Portland, OR 97201
Materials Used: Teragren Flooring – Xcora Chestnut Floating Bamboo Flooring


Project Overview

In this Portland home, our client needed a flooring solution that met two critical requirements: high durability to withstand heavy use and a floating installation to comply with their Homeowner’s Association (HOA) guidelines. After assessing various options, Rejuvenation Floor & Design recommended Teragren’s Xcora Chestnut bamboo flooring, which combines extreme dent resistance with the beauty of caramelized bamboo.


The Challenge

The main challenges for this project included:


  1. Dent Resistance: The client wanted a floor that could handle impacts and resist dents, making durability a top priority.
  2. Floating Floor Requirement: Due to HOA regulations, the floor needed to be installed as a floating floor, limiting options that required adhesive or nail-down installation methods.
  3. Noise Reduction: As the home was part of a shared building, additional sound insulation was essential to minimize noise transfer between units.


The Solution: Xcora Chestnut Bamboo Flooring

After thorough evaluation, we selected Xcora Chestnut from Teragren Flooring’s floating bamboo line. This flooring option not only met the client’s aesthetic and durability needs but also adhered to the HOA’s floating floor requirement.


Product Highlights:

  • Unmatched Strength: Xcora’s solid strand bamboo construction provides extreme dent and wear resistance, making it ideal for busy households.
  • Eco-Friendly: Made from sustainable bamboo, this flooring option is an environmentally conscious choice.
  • Caramelized Finish: The Xcora Chestnut has a warm, rich caramelized tone that adds character and depth to the space.
  • Sound Insulation: To further enhance the durability and noise reduction, we installed a cork and rubber underlayment pad, which offers sound deadening benefits and additional comfort underfoot.


Floating Bamboo Flooring Installation Process

Our expert team carefully prepared the subfloor and laid down the cork/rubber underlayment for optimal sound insulation. This layer helps reduce sound transmission, making it an ideal solution for multi-level buildings and condos. The installation of the Xcora Chestnut floating bamboo flooring ensured a smooth, secure fit while meeting the client’s HOA guidelines.


Before & After: A Stunning Transformation

The finished result transformed the home, with the Xcora Chestnut bamboo flooring bringing warmth and durability to every room. The caramelized tone of the bamboo adds a sophisticated, natural beauty that enhances the overall ambiance of the space.
