Cork Tile
The cork oak tree is not destroyed and then replanted but rather the bark is harvested from the tree every 9 years, leaving the forest undamaged. It is not unusual to have a 200 year old tree still producing cork bark. Even better than a renewable resource, Cork is a Harvested Resource. Only the bark is harvested from the tree, causing no damage to the tree which re-grows new bark. Cork flooring is actually made from the waste of the cork wine stopper manufacturing process so cork flooring is a recycled product.
Cork is an ideal material for both commercial and residential installations. It is durable, resilient, warm, anti-allergenic, a sound and vibration reducer and fire resistant. Cork is available in a large range of sizes and colors in both glue down tiles and floating floor systems.
