Cork flooring 'great for kids'

One of the best qualities of cork flooring is that it is an attractive surface for children to spend time on, it has been stated.

In a feature on the material, Kingston EMC stated: "It's so comfortable that studies have shown children spend significantly more time playing on it than other hard surfaces."

The news provider commented that cork is warmer because it contains twice as much air as other woods, enabling it to adapt to room temperature and retain heat.

It also noted that the softness of the substance is good for feet and joints, while it is resistant to mould and mildew and easy to clean, as well as being eco-friendly because it comes from the sustainably and renewably harvested bark of the cork tree.

One building that has adopted cork as its flooring material of choice because of its green qualities is the City Flats Hotel in Holland, Michigan, the Holland Sentinel reported earlier this month.

The venue contains a number of eco-friendly elements that also include energy-saving devices and organic cleaning substances.
