Cork flooring is one the most perfect floor materials for its design and the environment. Natural cork flooring is made from the bark of the cork oak tree. The process of acquiring the materials is very ecologically responsible, since the scraps from the wine cork making process are used in the manufacturing of cork flooring.
This is recycling at its finest and a great choice for anyone interested in stunning floors that are not damaging to the environment. The look of cork flooring is similar to the cork used in bulletin boards. No dyes are used in the production of cork, but a range of colors is available. The color is achieved by heating the cork to caramelize the sugar inside. This creates a range of effects.
Although cork floor covering may look like the cork in a wine bottle or on a bulletin board, it is not quite the same. Natural cork flooring is stronger and won't absorb water like plain cork. The production methods are designed to compress the cork much tighter than is found in bulletin boards or cork squares that are not floor tiles. Compressing the cork makes it stronger and more durable than plain cork and closes the cells in the bark.
