Our Story

Pioneers in Sustainable Building Materials

Established in 2005, Ambient® emerged as one of the early pioneers of strand woven bamboo flooring- a material favored for its extraordinary durability and minimal environmental footprint. We were also among the first companies to mail flooring samples directly to customers, so you could see and feel products before committing - something we still do today.

Over 20 years we have grown into a trusted supplier of a range of premium building materials - like bamboo flooring, LVP, eucalyptus flooring, bamboo plywood, and MagPanel® MGO board. Our products have been featured on HGTV, Discovery Channel, DIY Network, Magnolia Network, Planet Green, and more.

We serve a broad mix of customers: homeowners renovating a single room, flooring retailers stocking their showrooms, contractors and builders specifying materials for residential and commercial projects, and trade professionals who need a reliable supplier they can count on job after job. Whoever you are and whatever your project requires, you'll get the same honest advice, competitive pricing, and dependable service.

Our mission: create healthier spaces with products that are long-lasting, safe, beautiful, and responsibly sourced - at a fair price, backed by industry-leading warranties. Whether you're ordering a single box of samples or a full truckload for a commercial build, we treat every order with the same care.

"We pledge to give you more than just great products at great prices. We promise not to be salespeople but true advisors - with your best interest in mind, every time."

What Sets Us Apart

Built Different. On Purpose.

We started with a simple conviction: that a company can be genuinely good - to its customers, to the people who work here, to its vendors, and to the planet - and still thrive. 20 years later, we're still proving it. We set out to build something simple: a company that treats people well, makes products worth being proud of, and leaves its small corner of the world a little better than it found it. Twenty years later, that's still the whole plan.

Safety Tested Annually

Voluntary independent off-gassing testing across our major product lines, every year since 2006. Not because we have to - because the people living and working around our products deserve nothing less. Effectively-zero results, twenty years running. FloorScore® certified.

Long-Lasting Building Products

Every product we make is designed for toughness and longevity, with industry-leading warranties across the board. We manufacture products designed to last as long as you or your customer owns their home, because replacing materials you've already paid for shouldn't be part of the plan.

Your Personal Product Advisor

Whether you're a homeowner, contractor, or trade professional, you'll work with a knowledgeable advisor whose only goal is your project's success. We'll identify exactly the right product for your installation, walk you through the important details of the process, and make sure you have everything you need for a headache-free, beautiful finished result.

Responsibly Made, Built to Last

Our bamboo, eucalyptus, bamboo plywood, and MagPanel® products are made from rapidly renewable materials with minimal environmental impact. And while not every product we carry is certified green, every product we carry is built to last - intentionally. The most sustainable product is the one you never have to replace.

Best Value & Best Price

Your money should work as hard as you do. We don't compete on cheap. We provide the best value: the product that performs longest, costs least over time, and never lets you down. Priced for the best long-term ROI in the market - longer-lasting, lower-maintenance, and backed by the strongest warranties available.

Stellar Reviews Everywhere You Look

4.9 stars on Google. 4.6 on Yelp. A+ with the BBB. 4.99 on ResellerRatings. Flawless records on RipOffReport, ComplaintsBoard - sites where unhappy customers go specifically to be heard. Quality products and stellar customer service verified independently across every major review platform.

Our Company Culture

Old School Values. New School World.

No commissioned reps. No fake urgency sales. No misleading marketing. No selling your data. Ever. We've spent 20 years doing business the right way. Worth a read before you buy.

Our History

The Ambient Story - Our Early Years

Long before Ambient expanded into the broad range of building materials we offer today - MagPanel® MGO board, bamboo plywood, LVP, eucalyptus, and more - we started as something much simpler: a small, close-knit team with a deep belief in bamboo flooring and a determination to do things differently.

It was our trades customers - contractors, builders, and flooring professionals - who first pushed us to expand. They liked what we stood for and wanted more of it across more product categories. We listened, and we grew. The timeline below captures those early years, when we were primarily a flooring brand just finding our footing - humble beginnings that we're genuinely proud of.
