Cork is made of the soft, spongy, but highly durable tissue found in the bark of the cork oak tree, a species native to the Western Mediterranean region. An average life span of 150-200+ years, the outer bark is stripped from the trunks of these trees once every 9 to 10 years. The tree itself is not harmed. This makes cork products one of the most sustainable natural resources in the construction industry and a major contender for green living.

Cork floors resist the build-up of dust and dirt as they are naturally anti-static and hypoallergenic. This will simplify maintenance and cleaning and also decrease the harmful effects of dust and dander for people who suffer from asthma or other respiratory diseases. The presence of suberin, a waxy substance found in cork, makes these floors impermeable to liquids and gas alike, decreasing the risk of mold growth, wood rot and insects. Additionally, cork is a natural fire inhibitor and will not spread flame.

Easy to install and environmentally sound, our Bleached Birch cork floor is highly resilient and will not deteriorate easily even after years of use. Take on this superlative and economical asset for your flooring requirements.
