Cork Flooring

Since cork is produced from the bark of a cork oak, it’s highly renewable because the tree doesn't need to be cut down. Once it has been collected from the tree, the bark will grow back. They’re antimicrobial, insect repellant and minimize allergens in your residence. Even though it needs regular sealing, it is fire retardant and easy to maintain, which means it’ll keep in good condition for years to come. Regardless of what interior design your home may have, it can be easily altered with painting and staining services. You can typically enjoy a quieter space, a soft feel underfoot and durability up to 25 years.

Our linoleum flooring is made out of tree resins, pigments, wood flour, cork dust, linseed oil and ground limestone. This advanced combination of resources makes this kind of floor more fire retardant and repellant towards water.
