Cork 'becoming the flooring of choice'
21st September 2010
Such a point was made by the Edmonton Journal in a feature on the growing use of the substance as flooring, describing its many qualities.
Floor expert Kristin Krokys told the paper the material has become particularly popular in the past five years and explained how it is ideal for rooms where water is often spilt on the floor, due to its resistance to moisture.
"For higher-moisture areas like the front entry, kitchens and half baths, it's a popular choice. It's warm, soft to walk on and durable," she noted.
The paper also discussed the sustainable aspect of cork, as it is harvested from the bark of the cork tree without harming the plant, which simply grows it back.
Fellow Canadian news provider the Calgary Herald recently produced its own article lauding the qualities of cork and attributing its growth in popularity to these.
