Description
While softwoods are generally not used for flooring, cork is an excellent sustainable flooring material choice even though it is softer than most woods. Cork offers natural insect repellency, insulative qualities, and is soft feeling underfoot. Cork is sourced from the outer bark of the Cork Oak Tree, it grows back after harvesting.
The natural elasticity of cork makes walking on them very comfortable, whether you are in shoes or choose to go barefoot, and those same elastic properties that give comfort recover well when furniture is moved and marks are left. Cork is also a natural insulator, and that means it will keep heat in better than regular hardwood floors, making it feel warmer to walk on. It also insulates against sound, so heavy footfalls or even loud music, will be more readily absorbed. Eco-friendly Cork is hypo-allergenic, fire resistant and it will even naturally repel insects. Cork is the “Swiss army knife” of eco-friendly flooring because it can do it all.
