Cork WISE by Amorim is a water-resistant floating floor featuring a PVC-free cork rigid core combined with the amazing natural properties of cork.
The WISE line also features an engineered multilayer structure with an integrated cork underlayment for extra insulation. This state-of-the-art construction technology provides 5 layers for superior comfort (great for your legs and back), noise reduction (sound between and within rooms), and thermal insulation (for energy efficiency). Cork is actually better than wood and vinyl at retaining heat - and provides an optimal floor temperature by insulating against cold subfloors. It's comfortable to walk on, even barefoot, all year long.We recommend this line of cork flooring as a sustainable and healthy alternative to luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. Thanks to new technology, there's a healthier way to build a rigid core without PVC and other harmful components. With Amorim's WISE line, you get an enhanced rigid core construction for both dimensional stability and protection against water PLUS the natural benefits of cork flooring in a floating floor that clicks and easily locks into place. A water-resistant floating cork floor designed for high traffic and high moisture areas - that's safe for the whole family. Just the way we like it here at Greenhome - healthy for you and the planet!
This is a cork floor created for those who WANT sustainability, comfort, and maximum durability but NEED a non-toxic rigid core construction.

WISE features an engineered multilayer structure that consists of a quality, PVC-free and water-resistant rigid core layer of cork and an integrated cork underlay:
Cork Benefits
Silence |
Natural Thermal Insulation |
Walking Comfort |
Impact Resistance |
Cork acts as a noise buffer between the floor and the rooms underneath because of its acoustically insulating properties - reducing that noisy foot traffic sound by up to 53%. And cork easily cuts noise within a room as well. This is especially beneficial in apartments or other areas more susceptible to outer sounds. | Optimal floor temperature throughout the year thanks to its ability to hold warmth. Its thermal insulating properties create a barrier between the cold subfloor and the comfortable temperature of your home. And BONUS...we've noticed the added benefit of energy cost savings because of it! | Cork provides a unique comfort in movement, even when walking barefoot, due to its natural softness and flexibility. It's also very forgiving on your legs and back, which is why we like to put it in rooms where you may be standing for longer periods of time, like the kitchen. | Or "cushy" as we like to call it. Cork flooring has a long life span thanks to its elasticity and compressibility, which allows it to "give" without damaging the structure. It literally springs back from hard impacts! That means Grandma's china has a much better chance of staying intact when dropped. |
Why Cork?
Durability |
Sustainability |
Fire Retardant |
Hypoallergenic |
Cork has been used as flooring in buildings like the Harvard Law Library and the Library of Congress due to its durability. It resists cracking & scuff marks and is airtight to gas and liquid, yet still breathable. When properly maintained, cork flooring can last 40 years or more! | Cork (or more accurately, bark) harvesting is an eco-friendly process that's done without cutting down or destroying a single tree. And there are strict time limits on the extraction period. During its long lifetime - upwards of 200 years - the tree is continually regenerating bark, which makes the cork forest industry an ideal example of renewable production. | Cork is also a natural fire retardant thanks to its unique cell structure and waxy, fire-resistant substance called suberin. It gives a very low conductivity to heat. And it burns without a flame and does not emit toxic gases during combustion. | Cork is a great option for allergy sufferers because it's naturally mold and mildew-resistant due to the waxy substance inherent in cork. AND it's anti-microbial. Cork is a healthy alternative to dust and allergen-collecting carpets. |
How to Maintain Your Cork Flooring
Amorim floors are easy to maintain. You only need a mild, pH-neutral cleaner and a vacuum cleaner (or even a broom handle with a cloth on the end will do the trick). For general spills, you can use a damp mop. For deep cleaning, use a mild pH-neutral cleaner. Download the maintenance instructions here.
How to Repair Your WISE 2G Floating Floor
You have a couple of options here. You can repair the floor by removing only the damaged plank or you can choose to uninstall all the planks until you reach the damaged one. Download the instructions for both options here.
