Autumn Ripple Cork Glue-Down Flooring

Deep honey amber and cinnamon bark ripples in a full 5/16 in (8 mm) tile of 100% cork: warmth you can see and feel underfoot.

Autumn Ripple is an 8 mm (5/16 in) glue-down cork tile with honey amber, terra brown and dark cinnamon markings over an orange undertone.

Each tile is 12 in x 24 in x 5/16 in (305 mm x 610 mm x 8 mm) of 100% cork. The square-edged, straight-cut design installs seamlessly, so the finished floor reads as one large continuous surface rather than a grid of tiles. More cork means more warmth and more comfort with every step.

Because the tile is 100 percent low-density, sound-absorbing cork, no separate underlayment is required. Cork's honeycomb structure is roughly 50 percent air, with 30 to 40 million cells in every cubic centimeter, which is why this floor cushions your feet, quiets the room, and holds warmth in winter. The bark can be harvested without felling the tree; cork oaks can live up to 250 years and typically renew harvestable bark on a nine-year cycle. Glue it down on a clean, level subfloor or on concrete at or above grade, and it is at home in kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms, and living areas alike.

This tile cannot be sanded or refinished. If the surface needs renewing, the factory finish can be lightly abraded and recoated with water-based polyurethane. Solara is the only solid cork floor tile we offer.
