Cork Flooring

Composed by millions of tiny cellular air pockets, cork is an extraordinary insulator, quiet, warm and exceptionaly comfortable to walk on. Cork reduces heat loss in rooms, helping to maintain a pleasent indoor temperature - never too hot or too cool.

Cork flooring is a renewable resource as it is made from harvesting the bark of the cork oak tree. Because of the sponge-like cellular structure, cork can be compressed and easily reverts back to its original shape--thus, it is impact-resistant. Cork flooring is excellent at dampening sound, and because of that it has been in many areas where sound insulation is a major concern.

Cork is versatile. It comes in tiles or planks, and can be installed by those who are familiar with similar installations on engineered wood floor products.

Since cork is harvested from the bark of its host tree, the patterns of the grain are very lively and arguably provide some of the most interesting grain patterns in wood.

Maintenance is easy, with only a bit of damp mopping, occasional vacuuming and sweeping when necessary. Cork flooring is non-toxic and safe for all members of the family, human and fur-covered alike.
