The Basics of Floating Cork Flooring

A floating cork floor is similar to other types of floating floors with the primary difference being it’s made out of cork material. Unlike other types of flooring installations you won’t need any glue or sealants. One of the best things about a floating cork floor is that it can be virtually installed over any type of sub-floor and even old flooring, as long as it’s not too badly worn. Instead of tiles, a floating cork floor is made out of planks and these planks will vary in size. These cork floor planks actually have special connections on their ends that allow the planks to snap together.

Virtually every manufacturer that makes floating cork flooring has started making them in every type of color you could imagine.

Since the average homeowner with some do-it-yourself knowledge can easily install a cork floating floor, the average cost of this project is much lower when compared to a cork tile installation.
