Endurance and Micro Technology: Cork Floors
Standing the test of time, cork floors that were installed
in the early 1900’s can still be found in use throughout the U.S. today. Cork floors are amazingly resistant to
abrasion and can withstand the wear and tear life sometimes dishes out. Although durable in function, they are
beautiful in form. From natural, warm, honey tones, to bolder, more exotic colors, cork floors look great in any
space. Whether purchasing for a home, or a commercial space, there is sure to be a floor design or pattern to
fit any taste.
Cork is also renewable product, biodegradable and
recyclable. These properties make cork flooring extremely environmentally friendly. Cork comes from the bark of
the Cork Oak Evergreen tree, which grows throughout the Mediterranean region. Cork trees do not have to be cut
to harvest the bark. The bark is simply stripped of the tree, leaving the tree unharmed. Over time, the tree
re-grows its bark.
Being cellular in nature, cork floors offer
wonderful insulating properties. They not only make the climate in your space comfortable, they offer acoustic
insulation as well. Cork flooring is as comfortable as it is quiet, it not only looks great, and it feels great
to the legs and feet as well. With this amazing cellular makeup, cork floors are naturally water and rot
resistant. This natural water proofing makes the floors antibacterial and antimicrobial too. Micro technologies
and micro machines make cork ideal for the micro industry. Due to the compactness of cork, these special floors
are able to recover from compression quickly. Another benefit of cork flooring is that it does not absorb dust
and other airborne particles, making it allergen fee. Cork is
a great flooring choice for those who suffer from allergies or asthma.
Cork flooring provides cushion, comfort, and quiet,
all in one easy to maintain product. A cork floor is virtually maintenance free. To care for a cork floor, vacuum
or sweep it once a week. When a little extra care is needed, just damp mop it occasionally. About once a month
should do. Cork floors are also easy to install. Generally a floating floor, it can be laid over an already
existing floor. It can be installed in virtually any room in the house, including the bathroom. Cork floors can
also be refinished, adding years to its life. Cork makes for an extraordinary floor, versatile enough to use in any
home or place of business.
