Must Read Glue Down Cork tiles
Tasmanian Burl Cork Glue-Down Flooring
Coffee-dark burl cork in a 12 in x 24 in (305 x 610 mm) glue-down tile: 18 dB of impact sound reduction and a commercial class 31 rating in a floor that feels warm the moment you step on it.
Tasmanian Burl has dark coffee-brown tones mixed with lighter toffee and caramel colours. The 1/4 inch (6 mm) tiles have the irregular marks and texture of burl cork.
Each 6 mm tile is 100% cork, cut square-edged and straight so tiles meet without bevels or gaps. Once glued down, the floor reads as one continuous, finished surface rather than a grid of tiles.
Underfoot, cork behaves unlike any hard flooring. Its cellular structure traps gas in millions of tiny cells, so the surface gives slightly, stays warm in winter, and keeps unwanted heat out in summer. That same resilience makes it a low-slip, forgiving surface for seniors and children.
Install it over a clean, level plywood subfloor or concrete at or above grade using Wakol D3540 cork adhesive, then seal with two coats of Loba 2K polyurethane. Finished this way, Tasmanian Burl is rated for bathrooms, entryways, and light commercial spaces as well as every room in the house.
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.

Important product note
Finish coats depend on where and how the product is installed. Bedrooms can get by with one coat of finish, but kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms, entryways, commercial spaces, white or stained colored products, and all glued-down tiles (this product) require two coats. Fusion products are the exception and do not require site-applied finish.

Supplies & Guides
Sue G. (verified owner) –
Glued this down in the kitchen with contact cement both sides. Sits flat, no lippage between tiles. Delivery split across two days, which slowed the job.
Dee A. (verified owner) –
Went down over sealed concrete in the sunroom and it has held. Sits flat, no lippage between tiles. Second room we’ve done with it.
ROLAND Nickner –
We installed this cork tiles in our guest bathroom. It was difficult to know what to do with this tiny bathroom. iCork offers advice on getting this floor. It is warmer than ceramic tile and much more comfortable to stand on. The floor was easy to install and looks great. I love how rich the color looks. We are already plan to do another room with the floor. I’m very satisfied with the product.
