Cork

The Cork Story

Cork has been around for many years, but is starting to gain in popularity as quality improvements are made and new styles come out.   The urethanes available now are at the quality standards of hardwood floors without a need to apply a coat after installation.  Cork floors cannot be refinished but have really tuff urethane available, or can be re-coated to extend wear, depending on the manufacturing company.

Harvest cork does not kill the tree.  In fact, if the cork (bark) is not removed the tree will suffocate and die.  Harvesting the trees on rotation preserves the trees.  Most cork comes from Portugal, so the major flooring manufacturers and centrally located there.

One of the huge advantages of cork is its "memory".  Many of the dents and pressure you put n the floor will bounce back.  It is like the idea of a wine cork, no matter how old the bottle the cork will come out and retain its original shape and not fit back into the bottle.  If permanant damamge is done plank replacements are an option
