Cork flooring is created from the post-industrial by-product of the bottle industry. The bark of cork tree is typically harvested without harm to the trees or surrounding habitat making it a truly environmentally friendly product. Cork naturally inhibits mildew and bacterial growth, and Suberin , a main constituent of cork, is an insect and water repellent. The air-filled prism shaped cells of cork also provide excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, giving it a warm, cushioned feel underfoot.
Cork adds a unique elegance to any décor.
