Key Information About Cork Flooring

Material and Production:
Cork flooring is made from cork, a sustainable and environmentally friendly material harvested from the bark of the cork oak tree. The bark is removed without cutting down the tree, highlighting the sustainability of the material. The cork granules are then pressed into panels and coated with a protective sealant.

 

Properties:
Cork flooring has a unique composition that gives it a range of beneficial properties. It is soft and elastic, making it comfortable to walk on and helping to absorb impact. It is also naturally resistant to mold, insects and bacteria, and provides natural thermal and sound insulation.
 

Design and Style:
Cork flooring is available in a wide variety of colors and patterns, including natural cork tones as well as dyed and printed options. It can feature different textures, from smooth to structured, to suit various aesthetic preferences.
 

Installation:
Cork flooring can be installed as a floating floor or glued down, depending on the manufacturer’s guidelines and the conditions of the room. Floating cork floors often use a click system that allows for easy installation without adhesive.

 

Care and Maintenance:
Cork floors require regular care to maintain their beauty and longevity. This includes routine vacuuming and damp mopping to remove dirt and dust, as well as avoiding excessive moisture to prevent damage.
 

Sustainability:
Cork flooring is considered a sustainable choice, as the bark of cork oak trees can be harvested regularly without harming the tree. This makes cork an environmentally friendly alternative to floor coverings made from non-renewable materials.
