Desert Arable

Desert Arable Cork Flooring

Sand dunes at dusk, not wood grain: a rippled blend of amber, honey, and butter that flows plank to plank. Most floors imitate wood. Desert Arable is one of the rare cork floors patterned after sand. Light, rippled movement in amber, honey, and butter tones drifts across each plank like dunes at dusk, with long, delicate strands of multi-colored cork winding through the pattern. Every plank is unique, subtle yet strong in character. Once assembled, the floor reads as one smooth, continuous, sinuous surface. There are no chunky flecks of cork breaking up the pattern, just quiet, uninterrupted movement that suits calm, contemporary rooms. Under that pattern sits a 25/64 inch (10 mm) floating plank: a 1/8 inch (3 mm) natural cork top layer over a 15/64 inch (6 mm) E1 class high density fiberboard core, with a 1/25 inch (1 mm) cork underlay already attached. The surface is sealed with a high resistance Natural Shield water-based polyurethane wear layer, and planks click together with the Uniclic profile, so the floor floats without glue or nails. Cork's natural cell structure makes this a floor you feel as much as see: warm and comfortable underfoot, quiet, and resilient. The low slip surface is a friendly choice for seniors, children, and anyone with arthritis or joint pain, and it earns its keep in living rooms, bedrooms, and light commercial spaces alike.

Why this floor

• Sand-inspired pattern in amber, honey, and butter tones; a smooth, continuous look with no chunky cork flecks, and every plank unique.
• Industry-leading Uniclic click-lock profile: a floating installation with no adhesives or fasteners.
• Impact sound reduction of 19 dB (ΔLw, ISO 717-2, tested at 11 mm): keeps noise from transmitting down through the floor or up through the ceiling.
• Insulates against thermal fluctuations: keeps unwanted heat out in summer and warmth in the room in winter, helping trim heating and cooling bills.
• Rated Domestic class 23 and Light Commercial class 38, with an impact resistant, stain resistant surface.
• Naturally resistant to insects, mold, and mildew thanks to cork's anti-microbial properties; hypo-allergenic and repels dust, hair, and other small particles as a well-being alternative to carpet.
• Ecologically friendly, made from a completely natural, recurring, replenishable material with formaldehyde free adhesives.

Important product note

Desert Arable is deliberately smooth and continuous in its patterning: there are no chunks of cork in this design. If you prefer a bolder, chunkier cork look, that style of patterning belongs to the Salami and Autumn Leaves floors instead.
