AQUANATURA

The Aquanatura is the revolutionary PressFit system, in which Cortex has engineered a strong click lock system using the compression features of cork. The PressFit click technology involves the cork within the click joints to compress when under pressure, and then expand together once connected in order to create an extra-strong bond. This is a simple and easy process designed to save you time when installing. What’s more, no acoustic or thermal underlay is required thanks to its cork backing.
