Cork Flooring: One of the Most Practical Wood Floors Available Today

Cork flooring has made a comeback over the past few years, as home decorators everywhere are realizing the practicality of it. Not only is cork generally easy to install, but it's insulating, naturally sealed, soft to the touch, and also naturally hypoallergenic and earth friendly.

An Affordable Choice

Cork gives that distinctive, expensive look of wood floors without the high prices. Most cork you buy features click-together (glueless) planks, you just take the planks out of the carton and click them together.

Insulating/Energy Saving

The cell structure of cork makes it excellent insulation. If your home is on the ground level, and you live in an area that gets cold in the winter, cork will block that cold from reaching your feet. This could also help to cut down energy costs.

Impervious to Moisture

As opposed to many wood floors, cork contains Suberin, a waxy substance that makes it impervious to liquids and gasses. This also makes it rot-free, making it a good choice for any area of the home, even those prone to moisture. Just think, cork has been used to seal wine bottles for years!

Soft to the touch

The softness makes this ideal for children's bedrooms and anywhere alse you want to have a soft touch. It makes it one of the quietest wood floors available, have the beauty of wood without the clickety-clack.

It's a great floor when you take all of this into consideration: lovely, relatively inexpensive, easy, insulating, rot-free, quiet, htpoallergenic, and environmentally friendlier than most other woods.
