NATURAL CORK PRODUCTS
Cork flooring is made by harvesting the bark of cork oak trees, boiling and grinding the bark, and then binding it with resins and compressing it into sheets, tiles, or planks. The cork oak tree is not harmed during harvesting, allowing it to grow new bark every 9-12 years, making cork a sustainable and renewable material. The process utilizes leftover cork from wine cork production and incorporates eco-friendly, water-based adhesives to create a durable and eco-conscious flooring product
1. Harvesting:
The outer bark is manually stripped from the cork oak tree (Quercus suber) every 9-12 years, a process that does not damage or kill the tree.
2. Drying and Boiling:
The harvested bark is dried for several months and then boiled to make it more pliable and easier to process.
3. Grinding:
The boiled bark is ground into granules.
4. Binding and Compression:
The ground cork is mixed with natural resins, often water-based and low in VOCs, and then compressed under high pressure to form solid sheets, tiles, or planks.
5. Finishing:
The pressed cork material can be left as is or have a protective finish applied, such as a polyurethane coating, to enhance its durability and water resistance.

FLIP BOOK OF DESIGNS
Cork flooring is an eco-friendly and comfortable flooring material made from the bark of the cork oak tree. It is known for its natural insulation, softness underfoot, and sound-dampening properties. It is available in glue-down tiles and floating planks, which come in a variety of styles, finishes, and colors.
Types of cork flooring
Glue-down tiles
Solid cork tiles are adhered directly to a subfloor.
This method is better for high-traffic or high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms because it offers greater stability and can be sealed more effectively.
For a flawless appearance, this installation method requires a perfectly smooth and flat subfloor.
Floating planks
Also known as "click-and-lock," these planks snap together and rest on top of the subfloor without adhesive.
Installation is relatively easy and DIY-friendly.
Some waterproof floating planks feature a rigid cork or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) core, making them suitable for bathrooms.
