Design Cork Flooring

The Beauty of Wood and Stone. The Comfort of Natural Cork.

Design Cork Flooring combines advanced European manufacturing with the natural comfort of cork to create one of the most innovative flooring solutions available today. Featuring realistic wood visuals, elegant stone designs, and sophisticated decorative patterns, Design Cork Flooring delivers the appearance homeowners love while providing the warmth, quietness, and comfort that only cork can offer.

Unlike laminate, vinyl, or other synthetic flooring products, the decorative design is digitally printed directly onto genuine cork. This unique construction preserves cork's natural properties while creating a durable, beautiful surface suitable for both residential and commercial applications.

Whether you are renovating a home, building a new office, or designing a modern commercial space, Design Cork Flooring provides the perfect balance of style, performance, and sustainability.

Why Choose Design Cork Flooring?

Warm and Comfortable Underfoot

Natural cork contains millions of microscopic air cells that create a cushioned walking surface. Unlike tile, stone, laminate, or vinyl flooring, Design Cork Flooring feels warm and comfortable year-round, reducing fatigue when standing or walking for extended periods.

Quieter Living Spaces

The natural acoustic properties of cork help absorb impact noise and reduce sound transmission between rooms and floors. This makes Design Cork Flooring an excellent choice for homes, condominiums, offices, and multi-family buildings.

Beautiful Modern Designs

Choose from a wide range of realistic wood visuals, stone-inspired finishes, and contemporary patterns that complement both traditional and modern interiors.

Healthier Indoor Environment

Design Cork Flooring is PVC-free, low-emission, hypoallergenic, and easy to maintain. It helps create healthier indoor spaces for families, pets, employees, and customers.

Environmentally Responsible

Cork is a renewable resource harvested from the bark of the cork oak tree without harming the tree itself. By choosing cork flooring, you are selecting a sustainable flooring solution that supports responsible forestry practices and a lower environmental footprint.

Seamless Installation Across Large Areas

One of the most impressive advantages of Design Cork Flooring is its exceptional dimensional stability and precision-engineered Uniclic® locking system.

Unlike many laminate, vinyl, and engineered wood floors that require transition strips or expansion joints at doorways and between rooms, Design Cork Flooring can be installed continuously over large areas:

  • Up to 50 feet (15 meters) in length
  • Up to 33 feet (10 meters) in width

In most residential applications, there is no need for transition strips or dilatation joints from one room to another. The result is a cleaner, more elegant appearance with uninterrupted visual flow throughout the home.
