Longevity
One of the top considerations when choosing a flooring solution is durability. Homeowners will be pleasantly surprised to learn that cork is exceptionally durable, thanks to the flexibility of the compound. Cork is resistant to cracking, scratching, and even moisture, unlike many other options. This means that cork is ideal for spaces that experience heavy foot traffic, deal with extra wear and tear from pets or children, and more.
Reduce At Home Allergens
Tired of sniffling and sneezing all spring long? One thing you may not know about cork flooring is that it is naturally bacteria resistant, which makes it far less susceptible to the spores that lead to mould growth and the build of seasonal allergens. For homeowners wanting to cut down on how often they need to change their furnace filters, have pets, or simply want to create the healthiest environment possible, you’ll be amazed at what cork has to offer.
Insulating
Tired of cold toes? Cork can help! Cork retains heat very well, meaning it’s warmer than other options like hardwood or vinyl. Best of all, it can also be installed over radiant heating, giving you cozy results all year long!
Sound Absorbing
If sound transfer is a concern for you, cork is a fantastic option. Much like cork’s insulation advantage, the build of the material easily helps absorb extra vibrations throughout your home, helping to create a quieter environment for everyone. This makes cork perfect for nurseries, music rooms, home offices, theatre rooms and much, much more!
Stylish
Finally, cork is available in a wide variety of patterns, making it easy to integrate into any space!
