| Cork is a natural product harvested from trees in the Mediterranean basin of Spain and Portugal. While many people think cork is a new technology it has actually been used for thousands of years. Unlike hardwood, the useful part of a cork tree is the bark, not the lumber of the tree itself. Cork is only retrieved from mature cork trees and is limited to being harvested in 9 year cycles so that the same tree can harvested for generations making it an environmentally friendly flooring choice. Because of its natural characteristics cork flooring has found its place in the industry. It is fire resistant, naturally antimicrobial, and elastic making it a suitable floor for a variety of locations where hardwood floors cannot be installed. Cork Floor also insulates sound, making it an excellent flooring choice for apartments and children’s playrooms. Cork Floors are soft on the feet and easy on the knees making it a comfortable floor to walk on, as opposed to tile. The variety of styles of cork also give it a wide range of colors and sizes to match any number of aesthetic needs. Cork’s natural variety provides numerous patterns and designs that can enhance the look of nearly any room. Furthermore, cork can be stained to nearly any color as it accepts stain better than most other building materials. |
