Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves Cork Flooring

Organic, chunky cork character in a calm, easy-to-live-with pattern, built on a 1/2 inch (12 mm) Uniclic floating plank.

Autumn Leaves is for people who want a floor that looks like real cork without shouting about it. The pattern is built from "wine cork" sized pieces scattered at random over a background of fine agglomerated cork, so the surface reads as natural and interesting rather than busy. It sits in a sweet spot: livelier than a traditional cork board, quieter than heavily figured chunky patterns, with just enough movement to hold your eye and hide everyday life.

Under the surface it is a full 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick floating plank: a 1/8 inch (3 mm) natural cork top layer over a 1/4 inch (6 mm) E1 class high density fiberboard core, with a 1/8 inch (3 mm) cork underlay already attached. That attached underlay means no separate underlayment to buy or install, and it is a big part of why this floor is so quiet and warm underfoot.

Day to day, cork's resilience does the work. The surface is warm, low slip, and gently cushioned, which makes it a favorite for seniors, kids, and anyone with arthritis or joint pain. It is naturally resistant to insects, mold, and mildew, hypoallergenic, and repels dust and hair, so housekeeping stays simple. The high resistance Natural Shield water-based polyurethane wear layer keeps the finish stain resistant and easy to clean.

Why this floor

• Impact Insulation Class IIC 55 (tested on 5.5 in concrete without a suspended ceiling) and 19 dB impact noise reduction to ISO 140-8: noise stops transmitting down through the floor or up through the ceiling.
• Uniclic click lock profile: an industry-leading glueless joint for a true floating installation.
• 1/8 inch (3 mm) cork underlay comes attached, so no separate underlayment is required.
• Rated Domestic class 23 and Light Commercial class 32, backed by a 10-year residential wear warranty, a joint integrity warranty, and a lifetime structural warranty.
• Insulates against thermal fluctuations: it keeps unwanted heat out in summer and holds warmth in the room in winter, which helps trim heating and cooling bills.
• Made with formaldehyde-free adhesives, with a published VOC and formaldehyde test report.
• Completely natural, recurring, and replenishable material: a well-being alternative to carpet.

Important product note

Autumn Leaves sits between two familiar cork looks. It has moved away from the busyness of the Salami pattern, yet it has not gone so far as to land in traditional cork board territory. The result is a fun, subtle, quirky, "corky" floor: enough movement to keep it interesting without ever feeling busy or heavy.
