Cork Flooring – Comfort, Durability & Environmental Responsibility
Cork Flooring has design versatility, durability and environmental integrity, making it a popular choice among designers. Its wear layer resists scuffs, stain, spills and indentations..
Benefits of Cork Flooring
Environmentally Friendly: Cork flooring is made without harming a single tree. To harvest, the outer bark of the cork oak tree is cut away, the tree is saved, and regrowth occurs in ten years.
Warm & Comfortable: The natural thermal-insulation properties of cork floors make them very pleasant to the touch, even with bare feet. With its shock-absorbing properties, a cork floor is more comfortable to walk and stand on, and will relieve strain from your feet, joints, legs and back.
Naturally Durable: The structure of cork makes it waterproof and airtight, resistant to mold, mildew, decay and damage and is antimicrobial, antistatic, hygienic and hypoallergenic.
Versatile Style: Styles range from wide grain to the more traditional three-strip look with veneers such as teak, mahogany, cherry, oak and maple enabling cork to resemble everything from bamboo to burled wood.
Cork Floor Styles & Construction:
The majority of cork planks and tiles have a specially designed, tongue-and-grooved, moisture-resistant inner core to secure the planks or tiles together, similar to laminate floors. Cork floors are used both residentially as well as in many commercial applications. Cork floors have been used in many commercial facilities where they have lasted under heavy traffic for many years.
