What Makes Cork a Great Flooring Material?
• Comfort- It feels great to walk on because it is naturally shock absorbent. • Durability – It can be compressed up to 40% (by high heels and heavy furniture) and return to its natural shape. • Impermeable- It is naturally resistant to liquids. • Low Maintenance- Cleaning instructions vary by manufacturer. All suggest regular sweeping/vacuuming but cleaning solutions recommendations vary. • Hypo-allergenic- It does not absorb dust so it’s great for people with allergies or asthma. Suberin is a waxy substance in cork that naturally repels insects, mites and mold. • Eco-Friendly – It comes from the earth and can be recycled. Just opt for low- or no-VOC sealents.
