The Functionality of Cork Flooring

Comprised of natural renewable materials, cork is one of the leading environmentally friendly flooring choices emerging today. It promotes a more sustainable “greener” lifestyle while providing an elegant finish that could be used in any room. Many of our cork flooring products are created from cork oak tree bark from Portugal and is ecologically friendly to the environment by conserving natural resources. Cork is a resilient surface that is comfortable under your feet and is resistant to molds, mildew, pests, and even fire. Cork products offer a combination of benefits that no other flooring type can match.

Besides being a smart and gorgeous choice for floors, cork is a natural sound proofing material. This attribute makes cork a great choice for homes, businesses, and apartments. Cork flooring is made up of over 100 million prism shaped cells per cubic inch. Each cell is filled with air which allows it to inhibit the conduction of temperature and sound. This will allow for a remarkable reduction in impact noise. Though cork has been used for nearly 100 years, it is now rapidly gaining attention as one of the smartest choices in flooring.
