Great information on Cork flooring

I personally really liked some of the cork options, but no store in Calgary would put a warranty on cork because of the climate.

Here are some of the reasons you should consider cork floor tiles in your homebuilding plans:

• Versatility: Cork can be stained in a variety of color options.
• Cork is a renewable resource (green homebuilding product) because you don’t fell the cork oak tree, you harvest the bark from it.
• Cork floor tiles are quick and easy to install. His entire basement living area (2000 sq. ft. by my guesstimation) was finished by 4 installers in a single day.
• Cork, as it turns out, is a very cost effective flooring option according to Mr. Bonner.
• Cork makes for a more acoustically sound room – it deadens sound.
