Salami Cork Glue-Down Flooring
A chunky, raw block pattern in oranges, ambers, and hints of peach: 100% cork that brightens a room while it quiets it. Salami brings a chunky, organic, raw appearance to a glue-down cork floor. Its block pattern carries an easy-to-work-with palette of oranges, browns, ambers, and hints of peach. Bright and fresh, the color scheme lightens any decor, opens up areas that feel dark or cramped, and makes high-traffic spots like a foyer or kitchen feel warm and inviting. Each tile is 12 in x 24 in and 5/16 in (8 mm) thick, 100% cork. The square-edged, straight-cut design installs seamlessly, so the finished floor reads as one large continuous surface rather than a grid of tiles. Because the full 5/16 in thickness is sound-absorbing cork, no separate underlayment is required. Underfoot, 100% cork gives you the soft give of carpet with the easy maintenance of vinyl. Cork's cellular structure has real memory: set a heavy piece of furniture on it and it will dent, but within about 24 hours most of the dent recovers. It also insulates, keeping unwanted heat out in summer and warmth in the room in winter, which helps trim heating and cooling bills. Glue Salami down over a clean, level subfloor or over at-or-above-grade concrete, then apply two coats of Loba 2K water-based polyurethane to lock in the finish. Rated Commercial class 31 and Domestic class 23, it is at home in kitchens, dining rooms, entryways, and light commercial spaces alike.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.

Laid 260 sq ft of this in the mud room over an existing vinyl floor. Tiles are dense at 5/16 and cut clean with a straight edge. Holds up to work boots better than the vinyl it replaced.

I love the look and feel of my new Forna 5/16″ “Salami” cork tiles in my bathroom.
Sascha Cheema –
We bought Forna Salami cork tiles to use in our bathrooms, the hallway and foyer area. It’s beautiful and it works very nicely.
The floor is not that difficult to install, but we took a lot of time and effort to prepare the sub-floor. Once we finished the subfloor, the install did go pretty well.
This product holding up well in our foyer area without area rug. I have put 2 coats of water based polyurethane for protection.
