Salami

Salami Cork Glue-Down Flooring

A chunky, raw block pattern in oranges, ambers, and hints of peach: solid cork that brightens a room while it quiets it.

Salami brings a chunky, organic, raw appearance to a glue-down cork floor. Its block pattern carries an easy-to-work-with palette of oranges, browns, ambers, and hints of peach. Bright and fresh, the color scheme lightens any decor, opens up areas that feel dark or cramped, and makes high-traffic spots like a foyer or kitchen feel warm and inviting.

Each tile is 12 in x 24 in and 5/16 in (8 mm) thick, solid natural cork from wear surface to backing. The square-edged, straight-cut design installs seamlessly, so the finished floor reads as one large continuous surface rather than a grid of tiles. Because the full 5/16 in thickness is sound-absorbing cork, no separate underlayment is required.

Underfoot, that solid cork build gives you the soft give of carpet with the easy maintenance of vinyl. Cork's cellular structure has real memory: set a heavy piece of furniture on it and it will dent, but within about 24 hours most of the dent recovers. It also insulates, keeping unwanted heat out in summer and warmth in the room in winter, which helps trim heating and cooling bills.

Glue Salami down over a clean, level subfloor or over at-or-above-grade concrete, then apply two coats of Loba 2K water-based polyurethane to lock in the finish. Rated Commercial class 32 and Domestic class 23, it is at home in kitchens, dining rooms, entryways, and light commercial spaces alike.

Why this floor

• Solid natural cork through the full 5/16 in (8 mm) thickness: cork wear surface, cork core, cork backing, so no separate underlayment is needed.
• Impact sound reduction of 22 dB (tested at 6 mm); cork in 3 mm to 12 mm thicknesses mutes sound by 10 to 20 decibels, cutting noise through floors and ceilings.
• Rated Commercial class 32 and Domestic class 23: tough enough for light commercial traffic, not just homes.
• Square-edge, straight-cut 12 in x 24 in tiles butt together seamlessly for a single continuous look.
• Water-resistant, stain-resistant surface with a high resistance super-matte wax finishing, topped on site with two coats of Loba 2K polyurethane.
• Made with formaldehyde-free adhesives and no VOC emissions; naturally resistant to insects, mold, and mildew, and hypo-allergenic.
• Resilient, low-slip surface that is easy on joints: a comfortable choice for seniors, children, and anyone with arthritis or joint pain.

Important product note

Polyurethane is required after installation. Glue-down tiles must receive two coats of Loba 2K water-based polyurethane on site to complete the finish; this applies to kitchens, living areas, entryways, and commercial installations alike.
