Congressman Barney Frank Visits the bGreen Mobile Showroom

The bGreen Mobile Showroom was one of the main attractions at the Newton Harvest Festival Green Solutions 2010 yesterday in Newton Centre, MA.   The Showroom was open for business and drew a large crowd, including our first celebrity/politician visit.



Congressman Barney Frank, of the Fourth Congressional District of MA, took the time to stop by the bGreen Mobile Showroom and learn about our business and products.  It was great to have Congressman Frank in and he was quite interested in hearing how bGreen came to be.

Boom! Boston.com video and article!

We have been featured in Boston.com's Innovation Economy section.  We visited Scott Kirsner, technology and innovation writer for boston.com, earlier this week to show off the bGreen Mobile Showroom.  Full article and video here.

The Floors are Done*

The floors in the bGreen Mobile Showroom are done.  Well, mostly.  All that's left is a good cleaning, and 4 coats of eco friendly urethane to seal and protect them.  We're really pleased with how they came out.  As you can see in the picture below, we have a beautiful cork floor with an espresso colored bamboo inlay.  Certainly not your typical installation (i.e. in a truck with materials of different thickness  - the cork is about 1/4" and the bamboo is about 5/8" - leveled with the subfloor), but we think the result shows exactly how versatile a cork floor is.  Some installation videos will follow shortly.

Video: bGreen Applies American Clay

Here is a quick video of our application of American Clay in the bGreen Mobile Showroom.  First step was to use a sanded primer on the walls to give the clay something to stick to.  After the primer, we applied a base coat of American Clay.  Once the base coat sets, we'll apply the finish coat.
