Cork flooring in Texas, Florida and the South

Most Southern homes sit on a concrete slab in a hot, humid climate, so moisture testing and the right installation method come first. Order samples, see the delivered price for your ZIP code, and choose your door, a business dock or a freight terminal.

About 7 in 10 orders arrived within each range and about 2 in 10 took longer. We quote a range only where we have at least 20 tracked deliveries. Your checkout shows the estimate for your address.

  • Most in-stock orders leave our warehouse within two business days, and we email tracking when the carrier has the shipment.
  • Boxed orders travel with FedEx (some with UPS); pallet orders travel with FedEx Freight.
  • About 1 in 9 pallet orders in the South goes to a business loading dock; most of the rest are delivered curbside.
  • At checkout you can choose curbside delivery, business delivery to an address with a loading dock or forklift, or pickup at a freight terminal near you, and see each price before you pay. We confirm the terminal with you before the order ships.
  • Our cork adhesive and finishes must not freeze (the adhesive’s data sheet says keep it above 40 °F), so we ship them in insulated packing. A winter shipping fee shows on those product pages and in the cart; it is not charged on pickup.
  • Free delivery on most orders over $2,000 through December 1. See your delivered price in the cart.

FedEx Freight terminals for pickup

Pallet orders can wait at the FedEx Freight terminal that serves your ZIP code, which is often cheaper than home delivery.

What to check in Southern homes

Concrete slabs

About 9 in 10 existing Houston and Miami homes, and most Dallas homes, are on a slab (American Housing Survey 2023). Over concrete, our floating-floor guide calls for 6-mil polyethylene run 3 inches up the wall, seams overlapped 8 inches and taped, and a documented moisture test (calcium chloride kit or relative humidity meter). Basement guide

Humid air, air conditioning

July dew points in Houston, Tampa and Miami average in the low to mid 70s °F. Acclimatize the boxes with the air conditioning running, in the room where the floor goes. Our radiant heat guide asks for 48 to 72 hours of acclimatization in the room, cartons open, at 65 to 75 °F.

Kitchens, baths and entries

Cork is water resistant: wipe spills promptly and never leave standing water. We recommend glue-down tiles for bathrooms and laundry rooms, and two coats of water-based polyurethane after installing a floating floor in a kitchen.

Wall panels

Cork wall panels go on a clean, dry interior wall or ceiling. Acoustic cork wall panels

Questions from the South

Short answers from our team.

Ask your own question
Is there a showroom in Texas or Florida?

No. We are an online store with no walk-in location. Small samples are free; FedEx Express shipping is charged at checkout. Compare them at home, in daylight and in the evening, before you order the floor.

How long does delivery to Dallas–Fort Worth take?

We have too few tracked deliveries to Dallas–Fort Worth to quote a range of our own yet. Across the South, most orders arrived 3 to 10 business days after ordering. Your checkout shows the estimate for your address.

How long does delivery to South Florida take?

We have too few tracked deliveries to Miami and Palm Beach to quote a range of our own yet. Across the South, most orders arrived 3 to 10 business days after ordering. Your checkout shows the estimate for your address.

Can cork go on a slab in a humid climate?

Yes, after a documented moisture test. A floating floor goes over a polyethylene vapor barrier; glue-down tiles need a flat, dry slab that passes the adhesive’s moisture limits.
