Durable Choice

With a long life, cork flooring proves to be a sustainable and durable flooring material. Even better, if you opt for cork tiles they can be easily replaced if damage occurs.

Smart Comfort

Renewable and beautiful, cork is a natural choice for flooring in this living space. Cork is quiet and comfortable, easy to clean and naturally fire-resistant.

Priced Right

Generally less expensive than tile and hardwood, sealed cork floors can be a great choice— not only for price, but also because they are easier on the feet and back.

Sound Insulator

An acoustic insulator, cork flooring minimizes the sound of footsteps, which is great for high-traffic areas in the home.

Quiet Office Space

California designer Gabriel Shaw used cork flooring for its amazing acoustic-insulating properties in this home office. It is also much more comfortable to walk on than traditional hardwood and tile. Today's cork color options span the color palette and make it more durable than it was in the past.

Better Air Quality

A smart choice for the playroom, environmentally friendly cork flooring is soft underfoot and contributes to healthy air quality.

Hypoallergenic Choice

Cork is not only plentiful and natural; it's also hypoallergenic. The cork flooring in this bathroom highlights the white vanity beautifully.

A Softer Side

Cork flooring offers a more bouncy feel than other more traditional materials.

Comfy Cushioning

"My clients for this project both have lower back pain and wanted a floor with some give. Cork is very comfortable to walk on," says designer Jeff Troyer. The cork floor displays a large light blue island with a polished gray countertop in this bright, contemporary kitchen.

Sustainable Style

Non-toxic cork flooring is taken from bark of the cork oak tree and is used to make cork flooring. Cork is a sustainable material, meaning the bark grows back and can be harvested repeatedly.

Traditional and Eco-Friendly

A black granite countertop paired with white cabinets creates a timeless, eye-catching look in this kitchen. Cork is an eco-friendly flooring option that's easy on the legs and feet.

Tough Material

Dark cork walls are a smart choice in this laundry room, offering a great space to display children's artwork and tying in with the noise-insulating, durable soft cork flooring.

Warm and Welcoming

In this beautiful kitchen, the cork flooring complements the cabinetry to bring warmth, while also adding comfort for the cook.

Water Resistant

With teh right finish, cork does not absorb water. You can rest easy knowing your glued down cork flooring will not be ruined by moisture.

Organic Material

Cork is an organic material that can come in many different shades. This living room features a light color, creating a bright space.

Plethora of Colors

A rustic pendant light mixes with clean-lined walnut cabinets and stainless steel appliances for a contemporary mix of styles. The white tile backsplash and gray cork flooring add layers of neutrals.

Quiet Comfort

Beautiful, wide-plank cork floors were selected not only for their color and softness underfoot, but for the wonderful sound insulation they provide the homeowner—and neighbors!

Renewable Resource

The easy-care flooring is renewable cork covered with polyurethane. "You won't need a gel mat under your feet," says designer Jane Ellison. "It's softer and has some give unlike wood or tile."

Works in Every Room

A freestanding bathtub with brass fixtures sits beneath a "fireplace" cutout surrounded by turquoise-hued tile. Cork plank flooring surrounding the tub offers a durable and easy to clean flooring option.
