Cork floor is becoming increasingly popular and is being used in more and more rooms throughout the home. It is available both in natural cork appearance, as well as in the appearance of natural realistic replicated wood. Many of the products we offer feature the novel floating cork flooring, which allows the boards to be joined together, click-to-click, with little effort, until an even floor surface is created.
Since the laying works glue-free, it is possible to trigger individual planks from the surface and replace them if necessary. In addition, the cork floors are completely recyclable due to the production of natural materials and thus contribute to the environment.
Thanks to modern technology, cork floors in a wide variety of usage classes are available on the market. Depending on the design, they can be installed in the commercial sector and your home, you can even have bathroom cork flooring. This results in many uses in different areas. The pads are therefore not only deployable in every living area but also prepared for installation in smaller and larger offices, boutiques and department stores.

A layer of pollutant-free vinyl is laid over the cork core, which contains the respective pattern. In addition, many planks have embossing that is synchronised, so they are hardly distinguishable from genuine natural materials. Thus, they offer a valuable alternative to conventional vinyl floors. There is a wide range of designs available that has something for everyone: including the rustic design of Oaks and Pines or soft and friendly designs that will please your eyes.
Light cork flooring helps to turn all your rooms into a real oasis of well-being in a fancy style that is difficult to achieve with classic decor.
Classic cork flooring without a wood or stone look is usually sealed. The different manufacturers usually offer pre-sealed cork floors.
Before sealing it is important to clear the floor of dust and dirt. Then apply a special varnish that provides the seal. You must use cork paint so that it adapts to the elasticity of the material and does not tear. Use a sealing roller to apply. Depending on the sealer you can apply the next coat one day later, and the third one 24 hours later.
In general, the rooms, depending on the properties of the paint, are 48 hours after the last seal again enterable. If you are looking for more information, we recommend our blog text for the sealing of cork floors.
