Natural cork patterns with a white stain.
Notice: We strongly recommend two layers of our Top Layer Polyurethane to protect the floor’s surface.
Bleached Birch Cork Flooring
A soft, milky off-white with gray undertones that gives you the painted-floorboard look with the warmth and quiet of 1/2 inch (12mm) cork.
Bleached Birch is off-white with grey, light blue and creamy beige tones. Compare a sample in the room’s lighting before ordering.
Under the color is a full 1/2 inch (12mm) floating plank: a 1/8 inch (3mm) cork wear surface over a 1/4 inch (6mm) E1 class high density fiberboard core, with a 1/8 inch (3mm) cork underlay already attached. Planks click together with the click-lock profile, so the floor floats glue-free over your subfloor while the built-in cork underlay quiets footfall from the first step.
The pattern and color have been so popular that they are also reproduced in 6mm and 8mm glue-down cork tiles, so you can carry the same floor into bathrooms, kitchens, and entrance ways where a glue-down tile makes more sense.
Why this floor
- Impact Insulation Class IIC 55, tested on 5.5 inch concrete without a suspended ceiling, plus 19 dB impact noise reduction (ISO 140-8): noise stops transmitting down through the floor or up through the ceiling.
- Full 1/2 inch (12mm) build: 1/8 inch (3mm) cork top layer, 1/4 inch (6mm) E1 class high density fiberboard core, and 1/8 inch (3mm) attached cork underlay.
- Click-lock profile for a glueless floating installation.
- Rated Domestic class 23 and Light Commercial class 35, 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 saves on heating and cooling bills.
- Resilient, low-slip, impact-resistant surface that is easy on seniors and children.
- Made with formaldehyde-free adhesives. Review the product’s emissions documentation.

Important product note
Bleached Birch is a stained colored product, so polyurethane is required after installation. This site-applied topcoat protects the stained surface and seals the joints; plan for it as part of your installation.

We ran 420 sq ft of this through the cottage great room and it clicked together clean. Trimmed the last row with a pull bar and it cut clean, no chipping on the wear layer. Would use it again in the hallway when we get there.
Carlene A. (verified owner) –
We ran 260 sq ft of this through the main floor and it clicked together clean. Trimmed the last row with a pull bar and it cut clean, no chipping on the wear layer. The freight company showed up without calling first. Would still recommend it, order early.

Put this down in the hallway over the weekend, about 260 sq ft. Warm underfoot and quiet enough that the dog’s nails don’t carry. Two months in, no lifting at the ends or gaps at the walls.
