Leather Cork Glue-Down Flooring
The classic cork "block" pattern in a 1/4 inch (6 mm) glue-down tile: stone-look character with the warmth only natural cork delivers. Leather is the perennial favorite of the cork glue-down lineup. Its natural block pattern is the quintessential cork look, recognized worldwide as the mark of a high-end cork floor. When first installed, the warm peach flesh tones often get it mistaken for tumbled travertine; as the color mellows with time, it reads more like tumbled limestone. Spread it across a large room and the pattern begins to stretch out, easily mimicking a "short ends" hardwood floor, a design favorite at the moment. Whatever the first impression, Leather leaves a lasting one: the beauty of natural cork, front and center. At 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick, this tile hits the sweet spot where budget and comfort meet. It is 100% cork, so every step lands on a resilient, low-slip surface that is warm and comfortable underfoot: a welcome change for seniors and children. Because the tiles glue directly to the subfloor, the finished surface is site-sealed as one continuous floor. Rated Commercial class 31, it is at home in busy households and light commercial spaces alike, on floors or even walls.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.

Put this in the library and the Leather hide is beautiful. Glued over ply with contact cement, no lifting. Feels expensive in a way cork alone doesn’t.

Put this in the master bedroom and the Leather hide is beautiful. Glued over ply with contact cement, no lifting. Two years of the dog and it has only improved.

Put this in the den and the Leather hide is beautiful. Warm underfoot and it has started to patina where we walk. Took a while to arrive, worth the wait.
