Why cork is a viable option for your floors

Cork flooring is becoming more popular these days, not because it’s new, but because it is getting more recognition for its many benefits. For example, it’s incredibly comfortable, has excellent durability, and stands up to wear and tear so that you have little to worry about on a daily basis. It’s likely, many of your spaces will be an excellent placement for this floor covering, so take the time to find out if it’s what you want and need.

The durability of cork flooring simply cannot be overlooked. Not only will you see little to no cracking, scratching, and peeling, but it’s resistant to water gases, mildew, mold, termites, mold, and more. It’s a great material to place underneath the heaviest pieces of furniture in your home, as it has an amazing resilience that allows it to bounce back. That means everyday wear and tear certainly isn’t likely to cause problems.

The comfort you’ll experience when walking or standing on these floors is nearly unrivaled. Thanks to millions of air pockets throughout the material, it has a spring that allows you to stand for long periods of time with no discomfort at all. It’s great for doing the dishes or preparing meals. It makes a great play space for toddlers and small children and falls are less likely to result in serious injury.

For those who prefer eco-friendly building materials, you’ll love cork, as it is not only natural and easily replenishable, it can be harvested while the Cork Oak tree it comes from is still living. This means that one tree can provide lots of flooring over its lifetime and still remain a part of the ecosystem. The material is also much healthier for those in your home, offering antimicrobial properties thanks to a substance known as suberin.
