cork floor ideas

If you are looking for warm floors with eco-friendly properties, you should choose cork! It’s as soft as suede, has the insulating properties and resilience of carpet; It is easy to clean and looks luxurious with its earthy colors and rich texture. It is 100% eco-friendly as it is made from tree bark and is obtained by removing most of the outer bark from the cork oak tree.

In addition to the environmental benefits, there are many practical reasons to choose cork for your flooring. The material is waterproof (think the cork in a bottle), and the cork’s natural waxy substance, called suberin, also makes it mold and mildew resistant. If someone in your family suffers from allergies, a cork floor can be a soft and warm alternative to carpet for allergen collection.

Cork floors in the kitchen

Cork floors are more durable than hardwood. EASY TO CLEAN – Just sweep and damp wipe, making it perfect for any kitchen where we keep spilling and dropping. Naturally hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, antifungal cork floors are great to keep clean even in a functional area like this and well cared for cork lasts fifty years, isn’t that brilliant?

Cork floors in the bathroom

There are much the same reasons for using cork on bathroom floors as in the kitchen, but I want to make one more point here: It doesn’t make a room warmer – both the look and feel, and it’s important to your sanctuary. Cork flooring can easily give your bathroom a spa-like look. So hurry up to make such bottoms!

Cork floors in the bedroom

If you think that cork floors are too ordinary and won’t spoil your decor, you are wrong! They can be so different! There are different types of cork tiles in different shades, some really look like wood and of course there are famous penny cork tiles. You will easily come up with a right idea for your own bedroom – they have all the properties of the cork, which is amazing.

Cork floors in the living room

Cork is very durable and easy to walk on and less prone to scratches. This is especially important if you have children or pets. It’s acoustically flawless, warm underfoot, and retains its splendor longer than traditional hardwood. Therefore, it is a good choice for a living room. You can find almost any cork floor that will perfectly match your living room decor.

As I said above, cork floors have amazing antimicrobial and antifungal properties. They are hypoallergenic, so there is no better floor for a child’s room.
