Overview
Bleached Birch is a soft off-white that has been used to create a cottage or beach-cottage feel. The subtle tones in the colour elude to grays rather than yellow. The creamy finish more milky than creamy. Many clients have used the Bleach Birch to recreate the feeling of painted floor boards or old washed out barnwood. One of our hottest “whites”, this off-white floor seems to have hit the spot for many of our clients. It has been used in lieu of strong whites or boring grays. Light tinges of baby blue a creamy beige helps this floor stay neutral and flexible.
This pattern and colour have been so popular we have reproduced it in both the 6mm and 8mm glue down cork tiles. Again, this helps our clients continue their flooring choice throughout the home – bathrooms, kitchens, entrance ways are all places where a glue down cork tile makes sense.

June Graham –
Installed this cork floor four years ago in our upstair bedrooms. This year bought more to replace our basement carpet. VERY happy with the quality and price of the cork flooring. The mildew and musty carpet smells gone after installed the cork floor. We added 2 coats of polyurethane to make it more durable and water proof. Floors are as nice as they were when first installed. Installation is very easy. Highly recommend!
