Cork PURE Multilayer Structure - More Than Just a Beautiful Floor

Amorim's state-of-the-art cork technology combined with the natural properties of cork provides the perfect match between beauty, comfort, and durability.
Cork PURE uses a multilayer structure that consists of a quality core layer of cork and a genuine cork veneer:

Cork Benefits - More Than Just a Beautiful Floor

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. 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 Install Cork PURE Glue Down Cork Flooring

How to Maintain Your Cork Flooring

Cork flooring is a cinch to maintain. Simply sweep up any debris or loose dirt before wiping the floor with a damp (not soaking wet) mop or use a vacuum cleaner. For general spills, a damp mop will do the trick. For deep cleaning, use a mild pH-neutral cleaner.
