Natural Cork
Natural Cork Flooring
Natural Cork is the warmest, quietest floor in the collection. Cork bark regrows after every harvest, making it one of the few genuinely renewable flooring materials.
Harvested bark, warm underfoot, and completely renewable.
Cork is harvested from the bark of the cork oak without felling the tree, and the bark regenerates for the next harvest. The cellular structure makes it naturally insulating, resilient, and quiet, so rooms feel warmer and sound softer. It is available in 52 grains and tones, from fine uniform granulate to bold burl patterns, and can be finished with a hardwearing clear coat for commercial traffic.
