Cork Flooring: The Beautiful and Ecological Choice

Walnut and Brown Mahogany cork tiles in 18"x24" size.

Cork is without equal as a flooring material. One of its' most appealing features is that it is an environmentally responsible product with exceptional physical properties. This unique material is harvested from the bark of the cork oak tree. Perfect for green construction, cork oak is a one of a kind tree whose bark regenerates itself after harvest, leaving the tree unharmed.

The cork tiles available from Globus Cork are rich in texture and are available in numerous patterns and colors. This flooring is appreciated for its 'soft, give under foot' feel and resistance to dents.

Cork flooring also has superior thermal & acoustical insulative qualities. This means it one of the most efficient non-conductors of heat/cold. It also produces significantly less impact noise than many flooring options, making it perfect for high traffic areas like entryways. Heavy pressure does not break down or destroy the tiny air cells that are unique to cork. Pressure compresses the air within the cells. The cork begins to spring back when the pressure is removed. This resiliency allows the cork to give under pressure and yet maintain its beauty and finish. While natural cork is not completely impervious to moisture penetration, its cellular structure makes it highly water resistant.

Even when wet or coated with oil or grease, cork retains this quality. It is the perfect flooring option where a non-skid surface is needed.
