Creme Royale Marble Cork Glue-Down Flooring
The roll and wash of creamy white marble, with the warm, quiet give that only cork delivers underfoot.
Creme Royale Marble is cork's answer to a white marble floor. A creamy white field is marked with darker swirls, dimples, and knolls, giving the surface a subtle geography that both the eye and the foot can read. You get the visual ebb and flow of stone such as marble or granite, without the cold, hard feel of a stone tile.
Each tile is 12 in x 24 in (305 mm x 610 mm), a full 5/16 in (8 mm) thick, and 100% cork, sealed in a high resistance Natural Shield water-based polyurethane finish. The square-edge, straight-cut profile has no bevel, so installed tiles read as one large, seamless surface rather than a grid of joints.
Because the tile is 100 percent low-density, sound-absorbing cork, no separate underlayment is required. Glue it down with Wakol D3540 adhesive on a clean, level subfloor, or on concrete at or above grade, then roll on two coats of Loba 2K water-based polyurethane to lock the floor in. Rated for domestic class 23 and commercial class 31 use, it is at home in kitchens, bathrooms, and light commercial spaces alike. The cork bark is harvested under Portugal's regulated nine-year cycle without felling the tree, and the source notes cork oaks that remain productive for 170 years or more.
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.
Why this floor
- White marble look in stained cork: creamy background with darker swirls and dimples, none of stone's cold hardness.
- 100% cork at a full 5/16 in (8 mm) thickness, so no separate underlayment is needed.
- Published cork acoustic data lists 10 to 20 dB for thicknesses of 3 to 12 mm. Review the specific tested floor assembly and installation requirements.
- Rated commercial class 31 and domestic class 23, backed by a 10-year residential wear warranty, joint integrity warranty, and lifetime structural warranty.
- Water resistant: the suberin in cork's cell membranes renders it impermeable to liquids and gases, which is why this floor works in bathrooms and kitchens.
- Made in Portugal with formaldehyde-free adhesives. Review the product’s emissions documentation.
- Naturally elastic cell structure compresses under pressure and springs back with no trace of deformation, relieving strain on feet, legs, joints, and back.
Important product note
Polyurethane is required after installation. Glued-down tiles, and white colored products such as Creme Royale Marble, need two coats of Loba 2K water-based polyurethane to seal the seams and finish the floor. Plan for enough finish to cover the full installed area twice, along with a 5% material overage when ordering tiles.

Laid 320 sq ft of this in the laundry room over 5/8 ply. Rolled it properly and there’s no lifting at the edges. Second room we’ve done with it.
Eugene E. (verified owner) –
Laid 480 sq ft of this in the shop office over screwed-down ply. Rolled it properly and there’s no lifting at the edges. Delivery split across two days, which slowed the job.
Louise N. (verified owner) –
Laid 240 sq ft of this in the laundry room over 5/8 ply. 240 sq ft went down with almost no waste. Holds up to work boots better than the vinyl it replaced.
