What if you had the opportunity to introduce your friends and relatives to something new and different, a flooring that really had a history and charm unlike anything else, and one that translated into significant margin? Well, it indeed exists. It’s Cork flooring. As both flooring and a fashion, Cork is simply amazing.
Cork floors are not just a current fad or passing phase, it has in fact been around for over a hundred years. The benefits of cork flooring are many: It a renewable and easily sustainable resource that is environmentally friendly; It has hypoallergenic properties and is resistant to moisture; Cork flooring is highly durable and easy to repair; It provides thermal insulation and is useful in covering cold concrete floors; It can be used over asbestos - therefore negating any need for removal; It provides sound insulation; It's easy to maintain and install.
The majority of these attributes stem from the fact that cork is composed of hollow, fourteen sided cells with extremely flexible cellular walls that are both water and air tight. The cells are set together in honeycomb pattern that results in a low density and impermeable material. The cells are joined together in a honeycomb fashion producing a very low-density, compressible, yet strong, insulating material.
Cork floor tiles are typically fitted using a polyurethane adhesive. A finish needs to be applied once installation is completed - water-based polyurethane or if that is not available a wax treatment may be used instead. Some consumers will go for the pre-finished Cork floor tiles which do not require a finish once they have been fitted.
