Cork Information

Introduction

Cork has design versatility, durability and environmental integrity, making it a growing choice among designers. Its wear layer resists scuffs, stain, spills and indentations.

The 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 that include teak, mahogany, cherry, oak and maple enabling cork to resemble everything from bamboo to burled wood.
