Cork Flooring Tiles

Cork Flooring

There are many benefits to choosing a cork floor for your home, including the attractive style that these achieve in any room. Although many people find that cork is an unusual choice now it has actually been used as flooring for decades.

Naturally soft cork flooring is easy to stand on for many hours at a time, which makes it perfect for the kitchen where people often gather for long periods of time. The structure of the floors means that it is comfortable on feet and legs as well.

Cork flooring is also environmentally friendly as the outer layer is scraped from living trees, which are then left to replenish for several years. This means that no trees are felled in the production process and the natural cork makes these floors fire and mould-resistant.

There are different shades to choose from and different styles retain different levels of the original cork character. You can also decide between cork floor tiles and planks and which grade will be best suited to the area you are installing in.

If you choose to use cork flooring in a bathroom you must have sealant applied to prevent damage to your cork floor.
