Cork flooring could be perfect for your home

If you’ve never experienced cork flooring, you may be surprised that it meets many of your requirements and preferences, along with outstanding characteristics for every room. In addition, it offers a beautiful visual that matches extensive décor and is durable enough for various lifestyles. Here are some facts about this flooring line that could help you make an excellent flooring decision, no matter how large or small your remodel is.

One of the most sought-after benefits of this flooring line is its comfort underfoot, thanks to millions of air pockets. In addition, cork floor tiles are softer than many floor coverings and provide lots of cushion, so it's perfect for children's rooms, where falls are apt to occur. They're also great for the kitchen because the softness guards against permanent dents when heavy pans or pots are dropped on the surface.

The insulating properties of the air chambers also help keep heating and cooling costs to a minimum and provide noise suppression in noisy areas. And since it's a biodegradable and renewable resource, adding cork flooring to your home makes sense. You'll also appreciate the natural suberin levels in cork kitchen flooring because this natural substance naturally repels insects for a healthier, more breathable environment.

These floors need to be sealed for proper moisture resistance, but they're easy to install and maintain and can even be refinished to restore their natural beauty. The cost isn't much different than other comparable floor coverings, and they're easy to clean with just a broom or vacuum and a damp mop.
