This guide compares Cork Flooring vs. Other Types by construction, comfort, moisture requirements and maintenance.

1. Moisture requirements

Moisture performance varies by cork product. Check the floor’s permitted rooms, finish, seams and installation requirements, and clean up spills promptly.

2. Feel underfoot

Cork provides a resilient surface underfoot. Compare samples and the product’s construction when choosing flooring for your room.

3. Surface temperature

Cork can feel warmer underfoot than tile. Room temperature and the floor assembly affect how a finished floor feels.

4. Thermal insulation

Compare the thermal data for the complete floor assembly. Flooring alone does not determine heating costs or room temperature.

5. Materials

Cork oak bark can be harvested while the tree continues to grow. Compare the selected flooring’s materials, certification and expected service life.
