Cork Flooring Products

A cork in the road

Tired of debating about a cork-floor product for your latest home renovation? Put the proverbial fork in the debate and the complimentary cork in all naysayers, because it's time to make a decision. Gladly, with the products ranging widely in style, price, and function, it should not be hard to decide on the cork-floor product right for you and capable of quieting other parties endorsing less-efficient alternatives.

Tiles Cork tiles may be the fastest-growing product in the cork-flooring industry. Creative architects and designers have used cork tiles to foster modern, welcoming surfaces on more than just floors. Innovative uses can be seen on walls and ceilings as well.

Inlays Cork inlays are used just as any other inlay. These products look great as a way to partition rooms, accent a perimeter, or highlight color combinations in stone, tile, or other floor surfaces. They often come pre-cut and ready to be nailed into your existing subfloor.

Floating floor panels This handy use of cork mimics the way simple, tongue-and-groove wood flooring can be installed without the use of glue or nails. A center fiberboard provides the rigidity of wood while the surface offers the comfort, style, and color options of cork. A floating cork floor can be installed over any flooring except carpet and is easily cut with a handsaw, jigsaw, or circular saw.

Wall covering tiles Cork is not limited to uses on the floor. Its sound- and heat-insulating properties are just as applicable on the wall and even the ceiling. Some manufacturers design tiles specifically geared toward use on a wall or ceiling, which will come in handy if you aren't that handy.
