Overview

Special Materials Required: Glue down flooring tiles require the use of Wakol D3540 cork adhesive and enough Loba 2K polyurethane to achieve two (2) coats of finish. Must Read Glue Down Cork tiles

Silver Birch Cork Glue-Down Flooring

The calm of narrow strip hardwood in warm caramel and honey tones, delivered as a quiet, cushioned cork tile you glue straight to the subfloor.

Silver Birch emulates narrow strip hardwood in light caramels and soft honey shades, peppered with darker browns. The effect is light and airy: a restful, zen-retreat kind of beauty that still reads as thoroughly modern.

Each tile is 12 in x 24 in (30.5 cm x 61 cm) and a full 1/4 in (6 mm) of solid natural cork from top to bottom. 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 tile is 100 percent low-density, sound-absorbing cork, no separate underlayment is required. Cork's honeycomb cell structure is about 50 percent air, which makes the floor warm underfoot, quiet, and gently resilient: an easy surface for seniors, children, and anyone with joint pain. It is rated Domestic class 23 and Commercial class 32, so it belongs in busy homes and light commercial spaces alike, and with two site-applied coats of finish it is water-resistant enough for bathrooms.

Why this floor

Impact sound reduction of 18 dB; cork sheet in the 3 mm to 12 mm range can mute sound by 10 to 40 decibels, keeping noise from traveling down through the floor or up through the ceiling.
Rated Commercial class 32 and Domestic class 23: durable enough for light commercial traffic, not just residential use.
Solid natural cork construction, 1/4 in (6 mm) thick, with a honeycomb cell structure that is roughly 50 percent air: natural thermal insulation that helps keep heat out in summer and in the room in winter, saving on heating and cooling bills.
Factory-finished with a high resistance super-matte wax finish; water-resistant, stain resistant, and easy to clean.
Suberin, cork's natural waxy substance, makes the surface anti-microbial and naturally resistant to mold, mildew, and insects; hypo-allergenic and repels dust and hair, a well-being alternative to carpet.
Made with formaldehyde-free adhesives and no VOC emissions.
Backed by a 10-year residential wear warranty, a joint integrity warranty, and a lifetime structural warranty.

Common questions

Can I install this tile in a basement?

No. Silver Birch glue-down tiles should be installed on a clean, level subfloor or on concrete that is at or above grade only. For below-grade rooms, choose a floating cork floor instead.

Is it suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?

Yes. The tile is water-resistant and is well suited to bathrooms and commercial areas, provided the installation is sealed on site with two coats of Loba 2K polyurethane as required.

Do I need an underlayment under these tiles?

No. Each tile is 1/4 in (6 mm) of 100 percent low-density, sound-absorbing cork, so no separate underlayment is required. You glue the tiles directly to the subfloor with Wakol D3540 cork adhesive.

Will it stand up to a busy household?

Yes. Silver Birch carries a Domestic class 23 and Commercial class 32 durability rating, resists impacts, scuffs, and stains, and is covered by a 10-year residential wear warranty plus a lifetime structural warranty.

Tammy Ellison – June 8, 2019

I bought this cork tiles for our kitchen. It is very easy to install, great warm feel to your feet. easy to cut with table saw and chap say. due to the design of the cork, very hard to see scratches or dings which is very common with wood floors. We chose it for our kitchen. We updated our kitchen with a more modern flair and this fit the design bill perfect.
