Cork Flooring

Cork

Since the early 1900’s, Cork has been used as an alternative surface flooring. By constantly utilizing advanced technologies, Natural CORK continues to improve durability, simplify maintenance, and develop new patterns and colors to satisfy current design trends suitable for a variety of flooring needs.

Cork flooring is a healthy choice and good investment that when properly maintained, will last for generations. Comprised of a renewable natural material, cork is environmentally friendly, as much as it promotes improved health and comfort for human indoor living. In our homes, cork floors create a warm, comfortable, resilient surface that is gentle underfoot, is anti-microbial, fire-resistant, and is inherently resistant to molds, mildews, and common pests such as termites.

Natural CORK products offer a combination of benefits that no other floor covering can match:

Durable
Natural CORK flooring is protected with 5 coats of durable UV cured acrylic finish. Sweeping and cleaning using a hardwood floor cleaner is all that is necessary for regular maintenance. A new coat of polyurethane will rejuvenate a floor that has begun to show signs of wear. Well maintained, your cork floor will last for decades.

Comfortable
Cork provides a comfortable cushion underfoot. Cork bounces back, so recovery from marks caused by furniture will leave minimal residual indentation, less noticeable than on wood, carpet, or vinyl floors. This same resilient quality provides a warm and noiseless surface for any room.

Fire Resistant
Cork is a fire inhibitor and will not spread flame. Cork also does not release toxic gasses on combustion.

Thermal and Acoustic Insulator
Made up of over 100 million prism shaped cells per cubic inch, each one filled with air, cork inhibits the conduction of temperature and sound. Cork floors reduce impact noise, a great asset for applications such as multi-level housing, office spaces, museums and places of worship. Walking barefoot in your bedroom or bathroom in the middle of a cold night is a warm, quiet, and comfortable experience.

Anti-microbial and Insect Repellent
Suberin, an inherent substance of cork, is a natural insect repellent. Even termites are kept away. Cork is anti-microbial and is resistant to mold and mildew. If allergies are a problem, yet you enjoy the comfort and warmth of carpet, cork is the ideal alternative.
