Cork Flooring Installation

Seamless Comfort and Style with Cork Flooring

What is Cork Flooring?

Cork flooring is made from the bark of the cork oak tree, which is harvested in a sustainable manner every nine years without harming the tree. This type of flooring is prized for its eco-friendliness, natural insulation properties, and cushioned feel underfoot.

Cork floors are composed of compressed cork particles bonded with resins, and often topped with a protective finish. Available in tiles and planks, cork flooring can be installed in various patterns and designs, making it a versatile option for both modern and traditional interiors.

Cork Flooring Benefits

Cork flooring offers several unique benefits. It is naturally antimicrobial and hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for homes with allergy sufferers.

The material’s cellular structure makes it an excellent insulator, helping to reduce energy costs by keeping spaces warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Cork is also highly durable and can recover well from indentations, ideal for areas with heavy furniture.

Its sound-dampening qualities make it a popular choice in multi-story buildings, reducing noise transmission between floors.

Cork Flooring Installation

Installing cork flooring is relatively straightforward. The tiles or planks can be clicked together in a floating floor method, which does not require nails or glue, or they can be glued down for a more permanent fix.

Before installation, cork flooring should be allowed to acclimate to the room’s environment to prevent expansion or contraction post-installation. A moisture barrier is recommended when installing over concrete.

It’s crucial to leave expansion gaps around the perimeter of the room to accommodate any shifts in the material.

Customizing Your Cork Flooring

Customizing cork flooring is easy due to its natural versatility. Cork comes in a variety of colors, from natural tones to stained options, allowing you to match any room’s decor.

Textures vary as well, with options including smooth, granulated, and patterned surfaces that enhance the floor’s visual appeal. Additionally, cork can be cut into different shapes and sizes, enabling intricate patterns or borders to be created for a unique floor design.

Custom finishes can also be applied to enhance durability and appearance, such as UV-resistant sealants.
