Cork is 100% natural and biodegradable, originating from the bark of the cork oak tree. It is made up of 40 million cells per cm3. The cork is harvested for the first time when the tree reaches the age of 25, after which it is carefully removed by hand once every 9 years without damaging the tree.

Cork floors are found in high foot traffic areas of public places. Some of these public places are colleges, luxury homes, churches, the Library of Congress, and even mansions. A cork floor can be a nice enhancement for any space. Cork floors can be installed in the kitchen and bathroom because they are naturally water resistant - cork does not rot.

Furthermore, a cork floor installed in your living room will provide warm insulating qualities during those cold winter mornings. No more freezing feet as you walk across the floor bare footed. Cork provides an effective sound barrier. It can be a great choice for the walls of condos when you want to minimize the noise from your neighbors.
