Natural Cork flooring by Luxury Home Products

1-888-880-9469

Not all cork flooring is the same! This is the owner of Luxury Home Products. Please be careful when selecting cork flooring. I have done exhaustive research with regard to this type of flooring and have found several inexpensive brands to be significantly different from Natural Cork Brand. This type of flooring can be either fantastic or horrible depending on the quality of the product. Please trust my research... Natural Cork is the way to go! I have had it in my home for over 5 years and love it!

^{The benefits of cork are plenty… amazing
durability, smooth to the feet, warm in the winter and cool in the
summer…its very presence denotes elegance that is both inviting and
luxurious.}

Thanks to my wife’s insistence, we now enjoy beautiful, Natural Cork flooring in our home and consequently offer it online. I must admit, initially I was not impressed with the samples we received. Cork just did not seem durable or practical and I totally dismissed the idea of using it in our home. Again, my wife insisted. Now, some years later, I profess that our Natural Cork flooring is wonderful! It is incredibly resilient once installed. We are extremely hard on our floors with constant entertaining - chairs are constantly shuffled and scraped across the floor; two large dogs run freely (they use it as a race track); no one pays any special care. The floors still look fantastic, all 1000 square feet! My cousin, on the other hand, is unhappy with the condition of her cork flooring. This is the reason that Natural Cork is more expensive. There are 5 layers of protective top coating which make a big difference in its wear ability. Spills bead up on the surface and wipe off easily. All we do is vacuum or sweep as needed – that’s it! Occasionally we do give it a damp mop. Take my word for it, you will love this flooring!

Things to know about Cork

Cork is the name given to the bark of the Cork Oak Tree, a member of the Beech family, characteristic to western Mediterranean countries, primarily Spain and Portugal. The bark serves as a protective barrier during the average 500 year lifespan of the tree, defending against harsh climate changes and numerous fires inherent to the region. It is also resistant to more than 38 species of insects, including the termite, and to the development of microbes. Cork trees are stripped of their bark every 9 to 14 years, never cut, ensuring that its habitat remains undisturbed. The natural structure and chemical composition of Cork contribute to its beneficial properties: insulation, resiliency, impermeability, durability and hypoallergenic and fire retardant tendencies.

 Insulation 90% of cork tissue is gaseous; hence its density is extremely low, supporting great insulation – thermal and acoustic.
 Resiliency When cork is subjected to pressure, the gas in the cells is compressed and volume reduces considerably. When released from pressure, cork recovers very rapidly to its original shape.
 Impermeability The presence of Suberin, an intrinsic waxy substance, renders cork impervious to both liquid and gas. As a result, it will not rot and is considered the best seal available. This is why wine bottles have been sealed with cork for decades!
 Hypoallergenic Tendency Cork does not absorb dust, and consequently does not cause or contribute to allergies.
 Durability Cork is remarkably resilient. It is less affected by impact and friction than any other hard surface because of its cellular composition. This product has been used in museums, banks, and many other distinguished buildings. In fact, one of the earliest installations was the First Congregational Church of Chicago in 1890! You will also find Natural Cork in the Library of Congress, the Steffen Thomas Museum near Atlanta, Georgia to name a few.
 Fire Retardant Property Cork is a natural fire retardant. It does not release toxic gases during combustion thus flames will not spread.
 Installation The floating floor planks are highly recommended for "do-it yourself" installation. Utilizing a glue-less, "Click" system, you simply lay the planks and use the special "tapping block" to lock them together.
 Care Maintenance is nominal, consisting of an occasional sweep through, vacuuming or damp mopping. Our Cork is pre-stained with 5 layers of protective top coating relieving you of any major upkeep.
 Value The investment for cork flooring is equal to or less than most wood floors. Installation costs are typically less.
 Availability Our Cork flooring comes in 12" X 12" X 5/32" squares or 36" X 12" X ½" planks, pre-finished with 5 coats of polyurethane.

On 8/8/03 I spoke with customer, Jini S. from Orlando, FL with regard to Cork Flooring she purchased from us on 4/8/03. Jini commented that she was very pleased with how well the Cork looked in her kitchen and that it was so much easier on her back when installing the Cork, than removing the original tile. Jini was also pleased that every one who has seen her new floor, had only positive comments.
