Cork provides a very comfortable cushion underfoot as it gives under compression. Cork floors also reduce impact noise, a great asset for applications such as multi level housing, office spaces, museums and places of worship.

Cork floors are

  • durable and easy to maintain
  • comfortable
  • fire resistant
  • thermally and acoustically insulated
  • insect repellant
   

Cork is the natural extract of the cork oak tree, which only grows in the forests of Mediterranean countries. The bark was designed by mother nature to protect the tree during its 500 year lifespan.

Cork has been used in the floor covering industry since the turn of the century, but today's technology has improved its durability and maintenance. Recently, an array of new patterns and colors have become available to meet the demands of today's design trends.
