Cork flooring is the ultimate comfort for the home. Cork Flooring offers you the Natural Benefits of Cork Cork is harvested from the renewable bark of the cork oak tree and is a completely natural product. The trees are not damaged or felled during the harvest - this 100% ecological product meets the requirements to protect and conserve the environment. In cork oak plantations, the first cork bark will not be harvested from a tree until it is 25 years old. Today, cork oaks are stripped of their bark by hand in the same way they traditionally have been for several hundred years. The trees are not damaged in the harvest and the bark grows back completely time and again, taking on a smoother texture after each harvest. A cork oak can live for up to 200 years. Harvesting only occurs once every nine years. Over the course of their long lives, cork oaks can be harvested up to 20 times - it is one of nature´s truly inexhaustible resources. The ecological value of this raw material is evident - but what special properties does cork offer? Cork´s structure is very similar to that of a honeycomb: each cubic centimeter contains around 40 million cells. These cells, and the spaces between them, are filled with a gaseous mixture similar to air. That is what makes cork so remarkable. The unique structure and composition of cork creates the three most important characteristics in its application as flooring. Cork floors offer pleasantly warm surfaces to walk on, are extremely elastic and absorb sound. > Cork Flooring Properties > Installation Instructions > Maintenance > Warranty |
