Best Cork Flooring

In light of the green movement seen in the US and across the world, cork has become an exceedingly more popular material to be utilized in people’s homes. Cork is one of the most widely used natural materials in the world. Cork is used to make everything from bulletin boards, wine corks and of course flooring. Cork is actually taken from the bark of the Cork Oak tree. This is done about once every nine years. The process is completed without harming the tree in any way and actually harvesting cork encourages more growth. It is fairly recent that homeowners and contractors have turned to cork for their flooring needs however and some may still be surprised to learn just how well cork could fit into their homes.

Today I decided to take a look at Natural Cork’s Classic Series. And for those of you that may be interested in cork flooring but aren’t sure as to where to start, a good place to begin looking would be with this series. This flooring line is a great example of high quality, green flooring.

The natural properties of cork make it great for flooring. Cork is naturally resilient, resistant to molds, insects and even fire. Cork is also regularly used for soundproofing purposes. Natural Cork’s Classic Series takes all of the natural benefits of corks and molds it into a unique set of flooring. The cork flooring in this series is coated with five layers of durable UV cured acrylic finish. This advanced coating protects the flooring against damage from walking and regularly wear. It also provides protection against harmful UV rays which play a large role in the color of any type of flooring.

Cork is a natural choice for flooring and one that I hope you look into if you’re considering purchasing a new set of flooring.
