Walnut Burlwood Cork Glue-Down Flooring
Deep walnut, tobacco, and espresso tones in a 5/16 in (8 mm) tile of 100% cork that glues straight to the subfloor: dramatic color, quiet comfort, no underlayment needed. Walnut Burlwood brings the drama without going completely black. A wash of dark shades blends walnut, tobacco, acacia, and espresso into a rich, deep mid-tone floor. The pattern comes from the cork itself, so the flow is natural and no two tiles are exactly alike. As a dark but neutral surface, its tone-on-tone colors cool down a room that feels too open while keeping it calm. Each tile is 5/16 in x 12 in x 24 in (8 mm x 305 mm x 610 mm) of 100% cork. The square-edged, straight-cut design installs seamlessly, so the finished floor reads as one large continuous unit rather than a grid of tiles. Because the full thickness is low-density, sound-absorbing cork, no separate underlayment is required. Cork provides cushioning underfoot. The material's cellular structure is millions of tiny air pockets (roughly 50 percent of cork is air), which makes the floor warm in winter, cool in summer, and soft enough to ease the load on knees and joints. Glue it down over a clean, level subfloor, or over concrete that is at or above grade, then seal it on site with two coats of Loba 2K water-based polyurethane for kitchens, entryways, and other hard-working rooms. Cork is harvested from the bark of the cork oak, which regrows and can be stripped every 9 years without harming the tree. The flooring industry uses material left over from wine-stopper production, which makes this one of the greenest floors you can put in a home.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.

Glued this down in the cabin with contact cement both sides. 640 sq ft went down with almost no waste. The adhesive was backordered a week and we waited on it.
Abbie C. (verified owner) –
Bought these for the kitchen because it takes the traffic. Rolled it properly and there’s no lifting at the edges. Holds up to work boots better than the vinyl it replaced.
Joy Attwell –
I am happy with this cork flooring, it was easy to install and looks great. I am curious to see how it holds up through wear and tear. I put two coats of poly sealer on it per the manufacture’s recommendations. My two dogs have been running all over the flooring and the scratches barely show up at all. The materials are better for busy areas, especially with pets running around. This floor is not like a darker hardwood floors show scratches. Cork resist scratches better than hardwood.
