There are many materials changing our modern households but none accomplish the specific tasks that cork flooring is able to. Cork is originally produced from the Cork Oak tree—specifically its tissue and “suberin” (a waxy component.) It is such a flexible material in terms of what it can offer its owner—no wonder cork flooring is a fashionable solution within the modern home.
The two most unique characteristics of cork flooring are its ability to insulate both against temperature and noise. Indeed any home which suffers from cold floors can be quite an inconvenience—because cork flooring doesn’t transfer heat as effectively as other materials it is able to retain a consistently balanced temperature. Cork has long been used to insulate sound—many recording studios and music-related rooms will in fact employ the material for that exact reason. Cork flooring can both muffle footsteps in the home and allow your neighbours (and you) more repose.
Cork flooring is an absolutely natural and very aesthetic solution to any home. It can come in both its usual color (think of the cork in a white wine bottle) and a plethora of others including black, red, green, and darker brown. Sealing your cork floor can produce a shiny veneer that increases its aesthetic advantages even more.
Have you ever thought of cork flooring as an environmentally-friendly solution? Yes, it’s true, cork is produced by peeling the bark off cork oak trees—this is done in 9 year cycles so the bark has time to grow back. There is simply no end to what cork flooring can do for both your home and environment.
