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.
