Cork is nature’s versatile treasure. It is the outer bark of the Cork Oak tree, grown predominantly in the southern half of Portugal. Used in products ranging from engine gaskets to wine corks, cork has adapted to the worlds rapidly changing tastes and technology for over two hundred years.

Beyond the versatility of cork, it is also one of the most environmentally sensitive materials available. This characteristic includes, not only the techniques used to grow cork trees, but also the manufacturing process, where much of the work is performed with traditional hand labor and most of the energy used originates from recycled cork waste.

The benefits of cork flooring are beyond compare. Natural cork flooring provides a surface rich in texture and color along with unparalleled durability and beauty. The natural resilience provided by over two million air-filled cells contained in every cubic inch of cork makes it an extremely comfortable floor. Cork flooring is warm to the touch and is an excellent insulator from sound and vibration sources.

In addition, all of the cork in our selection has a polyurethane finish to minimize stains and scratches. Cork flooring is very forgiving. A dent from a heel or a dropped item often disappears quickly as the cork surface “rebounds” to its original state.

Cork is also a quiet floor to walk on and is comfortable due to its “cushioned” feel under foot.
