Durability
Natural CORK flooring is protected with 5 coats of durable
UV cured acrylic finish. Sweeping and cleaning using a hardwood
floor cleaner is all that is necessary for regular maintenance.
A new coat of polyurethane will rejuvenate a floor that has begun
to show signs of wear. Well maintained, your cork floor will last
for decades.
Comfort
Cork provides a comfortable cushion underfoot. Cork bounces
back, so recovery from marks caused by furniture will leave minimal
residual indentation, less noticeable than on wood, carpet, or
vinyl floors. This same resilient quality provides a warm and noiseless
surface for any room.
Fire Resistant
Cork is a fire inhibitor and will not spread flame.
Cork also does not release toxic gasses on combustion.
Thermal and Acoustic Insulator
Made up of over 100 million prism
shaped cells per cubic inch, each one filled with air, cork inhibits
the conduction of temperature and sound. Cork floors reduce impact
noise, a great asset for applications such as multi-level housing,
office spaces, museums and places of worship. Walking barefoot
in your bedroom or bathroom in the middle of a cold night is a
warm, quiet, and comfortable experience.
Anti-microbial and Insect Repellent
Suberin,
an inherent substance of cork, is a natural insect repellent. This
means cork is anti-microbial, and is inherently resistant to common
pests such as termites. This is excellent if allergies are a problem,
as cork also resists molds and mildews.
