Overview

Natural cork patterns with a white stain.

Notice: We strongly recommend two layers of our Top Layer Polyurethane to protect the floor’s surface.

Bleached Birch Cork Flooring

A soft, milky off-white with gray undertones that gives you the painted-floorboard look with the warmth and quiet of 1/2 inch (12mm) cork.

Bleached Birch is off-white with grey, light blue and creamy beige tones. Compare a sample in the room’s lighting before ordering.

Under the color is a full 1/2 inch (12mm) floating plank: a 1/8 inch (3mm) cork wear surface over a 1/4 inch (6mm) E1 class high density fiberboard core, with a 1/8 inch (3mm) cork underlay already attached. Planks click together with the industry-leading Uniclic profile, so the floor floats glue-free over your subfloor while the built-in cork underlay quiets footfall from the first step.

The pattern and color have been so popular that they are also reproduced in 6mm and 8mm glue-down cork tiles, so you can carry the same floor into bathrooms, kitchens, and entrance ways where a glue-down tile makes more sense.

Why this floor

Impact Insulation Class IIC 55, tested on 5.5 inch concrete without a suspended ceiling, plus 19 dB impact noise reduction (ISO 140-8): noise stops transmitting down through the floor or up through the ceiling.
Full 1/2 inch (12mm) build: 1/8 inch (3mm) cork top layer, 1/4 inch (6mm) E1 class high density fiberboard core, and 1/8 inch (3mm) attached cork underlay.
Uniclic click-lock profile for a glueless floating installation.
Rated Domestic class 23 and Light Commercial class 35, backed by a 10-year residential wear warranty, a joint integrity warranty, and a lifetime structural warranty.

Made with formaldehyde-free adhesives. Review the product’s emissions documentation.

Important product note

Bleached Birch is a stained colored product, so polyurethane is required after installation. This site-applied topcoat protects the stained surface and seals the joints; plan for it as part of your installation.

Common questions

How is this floor installed?

It is a floating floor with the Uniclic click-lock profile: planks click together over your subfloor with no glue, and the 3mm cork underlay is already attached, so there is no separate underlayment to buy.

Do I need to seal it after installation?

Yes. Bleached Birch is a stained colored product, so a coat of polyurethane is required after installation to lock in the seams and protect the color.

Can I use it in a kitchen or bathroom?

For bathrooms, kitchens, and entrance ways, the better choice is the same Bleached Birch color in the 6mm or 8mm glue-down cork tiles, which are made for exactly those spaces. That lets you continue one flooring choice throughout the home.

Is it a good choice for kids, pets, and busy rooms?

The surface is resilient, low slip, impact resistant, and stain resistant, and it is rated for Domestic class 23 and Light Commercial class 35 use.
