Kirei Board, It's Kirei, So Use It! [Video]

I've mentioned Kirei in projects previously, but I've never really blogged about it.  Kirei, or きれい, is Japanese for pretty, beautiful, pure, or clean -- an apt description for this popular green product.  Constructed of reclaimed agricultural fiber (which is heat-pressed with a non-toxic adhesive), Kirei Board is lightweight and durable.  It's often used as a finish material in flooring, furniture, cabinets, and other interior design applications.  Use of Kirei Board may help contribute towards credits for LEED certification, depending on a variety of factors ...

Kirei products can be found in almost every state, so give the dealer list a look if you're interested.  For a little more info on Kirei, check the below video put together by the pros at Shift 33.

I talk about Kirei (made from sorghum stalks) in an upcoming article about rapidly renewable building materials in the June issue of EcoStructure Magazine. Check it out soon at http://www.eco-structure.com/
