Is Cork Flooring Right For Me?

Cork blends a combination of comfort and style. With its unique warmth underfoot, this flooring option has the ability to compress, reducing strain on your feet, joints, legs and back. This product is also hypoallergenic, anti-microbial and a natural insect repellent, and fights off the development of mildew and does not release any toxic gases known as off-gassing and is a fire inhibitor, slowing the spread of any fire.

When most people think of cork, they picture the bulletin boards that are used to tack up notes and photos. This material has come a long way, and there are a lot of benefits to installing it in your home.

One of the key reasons that people choose cork over other floors is that it's a natural product, which is anti-allergenic and resistant to insects. It has a natural waxy substance call suberin that repels insects, fights off the development of mildew and does not release any toxic gases known as off-gassing and is a natural fire retardant. Because cork traps air inside of its cellular structure, it acts as a natural shock absorber, helping people with chronic arthritis and reducing unwanted room noise in your home.

Eco Friendly Flooring

This renewable resource has seen exceptional popularity for centuries beginning with wine stoppers and most recently flooring and wall covers. This product is produced and harvested using only the bark of the Quercus Suber tree which grow in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Southern France. Because of the climate in these regions, and the way the bark is harvested, the Quercus Suber tree can live up to 200 years and produce the raw material used in cork products for its entire life.

The bark on this tree is constructed of a series of honeycomb cells that can hold up to 90% of its capacity in air. Because there are 40 million cells per cubic centimeter, this product is extremely comfortable to walk on and will retain its shape when compressed to 40% of its original size. This material is also cushioning to the touch, repels insects and mold and is a natural fire retardant making cork a perfect product for any home.
