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 solid natural cork through and through, so every step lands on a resilient, low-slip surface that is warm and comfortable underfoot: a welcome change for seniors, children, or anyone dealing with arthritis or joint pain. Because the tiles glue directly to the subfloor, the finished surface is site-sealed as one continuous floor. Rated Commercial class 32, it is at home in busy households and light commercial spaces alike, on floors or even walls.
