What you should know about cork flooring
Cork is in no way a newcomer to the flooring
industry. Having been around for decades, it’s only now getting more attention
because of its classification as a green product and renewable resource. There
are many more additional advantages to this flooring, however, including an
amazing and comfortable underfoot feel, great value as extra insulation, and
the opportunity to refinish the material, just to name a few. You should surely
take the time to consider this floor covering, comparing how it measures up to
your own needs and preferences.

Cork flooring really measures up
One of the most intriguing things about cork floors is
that they are natural materials that have natural variations in shades and
hues. Just like marble, porcelain tile, and solid hardwood, those variations
give the material great personality and character. Pieces may not match
perfectly, but that’s actually part of the allure for many homeowners who
choose this material. Enjoy these differences and what they bring to your home.
Cork floors are highly resistant to damage from heavy
traffic while remaining comfortably soft and spongey. It’s a sheer pleasure to
walk on and you’ll find that it bounces right back again and again. At the same
time, pieces of heavy furniture that will stay in place for long periods of
time can, most often, cause indentations that will become permanent over time.
If you intend to place these floors in areas where this will be an issue, be
sure to place a protective pad underneath each leg of your heavier pieces of
furniture.
While you can expect about 30 years of lifespan from your cork flooring, maintenance is very important. Mopping with plain water is the general cleaning advice given, but you’ll find this material might become dingy or faded after a decade or so. If you find yourself in this situation, we’re more than happy to provide the aftercare it takes to bring your floors back to a like-new finish.
