Fall in love with sustainable, comfortable cork flooring!
Find the perfect cork flooring with help from the Nufloors team.
With its unique sustainable and environmentally friendly qualities, paired with its warmth underfoot, it’s no surprise that cork flooring is top-of-mind for many homeowners. Add the bonus of its noise-dampening abilities, and cork offers a variety of practical perks in addition to a natural, wood flooring feel to a home’s aesthetic.
“Cork flooring is beautiful, functional and sustainable, and these three qualities can be hard to find all wrapped up in one product,” says Nick Kaplanis, owner of Nufloors in Langley. “Cork has made a major comeback, and we expect it to continue growing in popularity thanks to its sustainability, warmth underfoot and other fantastic attributes.”
Here’s a look at some of the benefits:
- Sustainability: Cork is 100 per cent renewable, and trees aren’t harmed during harvesting. The harvest is a crucial step in ensuring the health of cork trees, making cork one of the most renewable resources on the planet.
- Durability: Cork can last up to 30 years when properly maintained and has a unique ability to ‘bounce back’ thanks to its natural elasticity.
- Water resistance: With its natural resistance to water, pests, mould and mildew, cork can be a good option for water-prone areas. Just keep in mind that the relationship with cork and water is complex, and spills should still be cleaned up promptly to prevent damage.
- Comfort and aesthetic: Cork is a natural thermal insulator, meaning it will stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It’s also naturally soft underfoot – softer than hardwood flooring – but it still offers that natural wood appearance. It’s also available in a range of colours and styles.
- Sound-dampening qualities: One of the most unique attributes of cork flooring is its ability to absorb and reduce sound. This is one feature that’s hard to find in other flooring options and makes it a great solution for multi-family dwellings and busy family homes.
