Golden Beach Cork Glue-Down Flooring
Natural cork glue-down tile, 6 mm (1/4 inch) thick. Published impact-sound data lists 18 dB; review the complete tested floor assembly.
Golden Beach earns its name. The tile shows the light, sandy tones of natural cork in a soft, sun-bleached pattern, finished with a high resistance Natural Shield water-based polyurethane finish that keeps the surface looking natural rather than glossy. Square edges and a straight-cut profile let the tiles butt tightly together for a smooth, continuous field of color.
The tile is 100% cork with a cork veneer on top, so it cannot be sanded or refinished. That all-cork build is what gives this floor its character underfoot. It is resilient, warm, and quiet, cushioning every step while damping the sound of footfalls to the rooms below.
Because it is glued directly to the subfloor and then sealed on site with two coats of polyurethane, this tile is a favorite for bathrooms. Once installed and sealed, the floor is almost impenetrable to water, repels moisture, and offers a low-slip surface that stays comfortable on bare feet. The same forgiving, resilient surface makes it a smart pick for seniors and children.
Rated Commercial class 31 and Domestic class 23, Golden Beach is approved for residential and light commercial spaces, on floors and walls alike. The photo below shows it at work in a daycare playroom, exactly the kind of high-activity space this tile was built for.

Glued this down in the sunroom with contact cement both sides. Rolled it properly and there’s no lifting at the edges. Second room we’ve done with it.
Herb C. (verified owner) –
Did the garden room with these tiles, 420 sq ft, one afternoon with a roller. The Golden Beach is neutral, not plasticky in daylight. The adhesive was backordered a week and we waited on it.
