Sustainable Cork Flooring
Cork Flooring is made from the bark of cork oak trees. It’s a sustainable flooring option, as the bark is harvested without destroying the tree and grows back as quickly as nine years, ready to be harvested again. Therefore, cork is a completely renewable resource harvested. Cork is a comfortable, warm material that is perfect for standing on for long periods. Cork flooring offers excellent thermal insulation and sound absorption properties. Additionally, it is hypoallergenic and suitable for people with allergies.
Cork Flooring Benefits
Cork flooring promises quieter, more comfortable rooms that keep your joints, home, and the planet happy. Cork is a naturally renewable resource that grows back after it has been trimmed from the bark of the tree. In addition, cork flooring provides a warm surface that is anti-slip and hypoallergenic. We only offer Made in Portugal cork flooring through Wicanders, Torlys and Eurocork. These are the top three brands in the industry. These brands feature attached cork underlay and a high anti-scratch finish, making them easy to clean and highly durable over time.

Cork floors usually are floated. This makes cork flooring installation super fast and easy.

Why Cork Flooring Works So Well in Vancouver Homes
Cork flooring is one of the most sustainable choices you can make for a Vancouver home. Harvested from the bark of the cork oak without harming the tree, it is naturally renewable and biodegradable. It is also warm and quiet underfoot — cork’s cellular structure provides built-in thermal and acoustic insulation, which makes it ideal for condos, music rooms, and homes with pets or young children. Its slight cushioning is easier on joints than hardwood or tile, and natural suberin gives it antimicrobial and hypoallergenic properties.
Modern cork comes in far more than the classic speckled look: today’s collections include wide planks, tiles, and digitally printed visuals in wood and stone styles, with durable UV-cured finishes suited to Vancouver’s damp climate. With proper sealing, cork can even be used in kitchens.
Cork Flooring Cost and Installation in Vancouver
Cork is typically priced between laminate and hardwood, and most floating cork floors install quickly over existing subfloors. Our in-house, certified installers handle every project — no subcontractors — and our work is backed by a lifetime installation warranty. As an NKBA member and a member of the BC Floor Covering Association, we can help you compare cork with hardwood, laminate, and luxury vinyl so you choose the right floor for each room.
