Keep in mind that the lower end prices may indicate a lesser quality and performance. The higher cost cork flooring is generally thicker meaning you will not need additional materials underneath it. It will serve as an insulating factor meaning a possible reduction in heating costs. Higher end flooring also has several layers of protective coating, usually a UV varnish which helps protect it and makes it even more wear and moisture resistant.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your comment.

Cork can be a bit more senstive than hardwood floors, but here are some points I might consider.

If you will have chairs or lots of furniture on top of cork flooring, add propoer protection on the bottom of your furniture. You’ve probably seen the small pieces of adhesive felt that can be put on the bottom of furniture to prevent scratches in flooring.

If you have a dog constantly running around on floors, I might consider a different option.

However, in general cork has been known to hold up well as a material. Maybe try looking at a few different samples before making a decision.

My wife and I looked at some of the cork samples at a local shop. It does look beautiful…

I took one of the samples and rubbed it against the display and it scratched fairly easily (and horribly). We are concerned with a potential problem once chairs start rubbing against the floor. At least hardwood can be refinished.

Any comments?

The overall feel of the wood under your feet is another factor you should take into consideration when you are choosing which material to use. You should select something that would feel comfortable and pleasant.

Make cork flooring as your top list!

Hi Paige!

Thank you for your awesome post. The unique cellular structure of cork floors are indeed a great alternative for kitchens,

For those who already knew that cork oak was environmentally friendly, you’ll be happy to hear that now cork flooring has gotten even greener, thanks to a unique technological breakthrough in its manufacturing process.

Wicanders Cork Oak Floors now contain Acrodur®, a water-based binder developed by BASF that replaces traditional resins used to manufacture flooring. It contains no ingredients such as phenol, formaldehyde or isocyanate and significantly reduces the level of emissions without compromising the technical performance of the products.

For more you info, you can check out our posts about Acrodur. http://wicanderscorkoakblog.com

Thanks a lot!
