About Cork
A NATURAL SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE
Cork can be harvested from the same tree for about two hundred years and every harvested cork tree fixates between 3 to 5 times more carbon. The harvesting is made with minimal impact on the environment and no trees are cut down to bring you this product. Cork is the perfect environmentally friendly, renewable and sustainable material.
First utilised centuries ago as wine stoppers, cork developed into a key material in many industries including construction, high-technology and even fashion.
In its several forms - natural, composition, granulated and rubber/cork - cork's attributes cannot be found in any other single source, making it superior to many synthetic substitutes and an essential element for many purposes.
COMFORTABLE
Cork, as a natural product, warms and enriches any interior. With over 40 million natural "cushion cells" per cubic centimeter, cork is a natural sound and thermal insulator. Cork floors are beautifully quiet and comfortable underfoot, warm and pleasant to the touch.
SAFE
Cork floors do not absorb dust and are resistant to bacteria and fungus. They do not cause allergies nor pose a risk to asthma sufferers. Adhesives and finishing products used in the manufacturing of cork floors are formaldehyde-free and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions are not detectable.
DURABLE AND EASY TO MAINTAIN
Advanced coating technology gives cork floorings a highly resistant and long-lasting protection even in high traffic environments. Due to the special factory finish, cork floors are not only durable but they require only minimal maintenance.
