Rhythm

Rhythm Cork Flooring

Warm, quiet, and rated for commercial wear: a 7/16 in (11 mm) Swiss real cork plank that clicks together without glue or nails.

Rhythm is a floating cork plank with a genuine 0.12 in (3 mm) natural cork wear surface, the thickest tier of this Swiss-made floating line. It belongs to a trio of related cork looks alongside Hazel and Leather, and the side-by-side comparison photo below shows exactly where Rhythm sits in that range, so you can judge its tone against its two siblings before you order.

Under the surface, each plank is built in three layers: the 0.12 in (3 mm) cork top, a 0.27 in (6.8 mm) E1 grade moisture-resistant HDF core, and a 0.05 in (1.2 mm) agglomerated cork backing. The core carries the Uniclic click-lock profile, so planks lock edge to edge and float over the subfloor. Edges are square with no bevel, giving the finished floor a clean, continuous surface.

Underfoot is where cork earns its keep. Roughly 40 million air-filled cells per cubic centimeter insulate the surface, so the floor stays comfortable for bare feet even in winter. That same honeycomb structure absorbs impact sound rather than reflecting it, and the material is permanently elastic, so it is gentle on ankles through long days of standing and walking.

The HotCoating surface protection, finished with a high-resistance Natural Shield water-based polyurethane, pushes durability to commercial class 33 and guards against spills of many kinds. That makes Rhythm at home in busy households (domestic class 23, 15-year warranty) and in commercial spaces (class 33, 5-year warranty) alike.

Why this floor

• Commercial class 33 and domestic class 23 durability, thanks to HotCoating surface protection with a Natural Shield water-based polyurethane finish.
• Full 7/16 in (11 mm) build: 0.12 in (3 mm) natural cork top layer over a 0.27 in (6.8 mm) E1 grade moisture-resistant HDF core and a 0.05 in (1.2 mm) agglomerated cork backing.
• About 40 million cells per cubic centimeter give real thermal insulation, so the surface feels warm to bare feet year round.
• Honeycomb cell structure absorbs impact sound instead of bouncing it back, so rooms feel noticeably quieter.
• Permanently elastic surface that stays softer and more forgiving underfoot than hard flooring.
• Uniclic click-lock floating installation: no glue, no nails, planks lock together over the subfloor.
• Renewable by design: cork bark is harvested without felling the tree, and a single cork oak can live up to 200 years and give around 20 harvests.
