What is Cork Flooring
Cork flooring is wood based flooring material; it is made from the bark of cork oak trees. Since the flooring itself is produced from bark it's environmentally friendly and provides a natural look and feel inside of your home or business. Unlike popular beliefs cork flooring is highly durable, it's has memory and recovers well form compression; just like a cork in a wine bottle. Cork flooring isn't the cheapest flooring material you can buy, and can sometimes be in the range of ceramic tiles; however the results and beauty of a cork floor far out weigh the costs.
Cork flooring is also great at insulating; both heat and cold, which can greatly reduce your heating and electric bills. They are good at absorbing sound and also are anti-static, so you won't get those winter static shocks. Virtually every room in your house can have cork flooring, even your kitchen and bathroom. Cork flooring is popular in kitchens since it's easy to clean and comfortable to stand on. Since cork flooring isn't affected by water it can be used in the bathroom or other areas like entry hallways where water has a habit of being present.
