Introduction to cork flooring
When most people think of about cork, they usually don't imagine it on their floors.
However, cork tiles have several benefits, they are warm to stand on, offer a comfortable
surface to walk on, are quiet to walk over. In addition, for anyone who has joint
problems, cork tiles are a perfect flooring option. Cork planks and tiles are made from the bark of the cork oak tree. The bark is
ground, then compressed to increase it's density, and finally heated. Cork planks
and tiles are available through several manufacturers as either natural or already
sealed. If you are installing natural planks or tiles then the cork floor must be sealed
with polyurethane varnish once laid. However, if you are installing already sealed
planking or tiles, then once the flooring has been laid, your job is complete, except
for moving the furniture back of course. So, if you are considering installing new flooring, consider using cork. It is quiet,
warm, comfortable, and easy to maintain, while still remaining reasonably priced.
