Sound Reduction

Cork reduces noise both from foot traffic on the floor and within a room, thanks to its sound-insulating properties. It can lower foot traffic noise by up to 53%, making it a great choice for apartments or other areas that are prone to outside noise.

Optimal Floor Temperature

Cork's thermal insulating properties create a barrier between the cold subfloor and the comfortable temperature of your home, resulting in the optimal floor temperature throughout the year.

Walking Comfort

Cork is soft and flexible, making it comfortable to walk on, even barefoot. It's also gentle on your legs and back, which is why it's a good choice for rooms where you may stand for extended periods, such as the kitchen.

Impact Resistant

Or "cushy" as we like to call it, thanks to its elasticity and compressibility, which allows it to "give" without damaging the structure. It literally springs back from hard impacts.

Durable

Cork was 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!

Sustainable

Cork harvesting is sustainable because it doesn't involve cutting down trees, and there are strict time limits on the extraction period. The cork tree can live for over 200 years and continually regenerates its bark, making it an excellent example of renewable production.

Fire Retardant

Cork is also a natural fire retardant thanks to its unique cell structure and a 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.

Hypoallergenic

Cork is a healthy alternative to dust and allergen-collecting carpets because it's naturally mold and mildew resistant due to the waxy substance inherent in cork. And it's anti-microbial.

Cork PURE Multilayer Construction

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.

Glue Down Cork Flooring Installation - Adhesive + Sealer 

These Cork PURE glue-down cork flooring tiles require the use of a flooring adhesive and at least 1 coat of a water-based polyurethane finish. We strongly recommend a water-based contact adhesive with ZERO-VOC's. The adhesive is applied to both the cork plank and the subfloor.

Read the installation instructions closely to prepare for the install, whether you're doing it yourself or hiring a professional.
