Natural Cork Flooring: Practical and Environmentally-Friendly
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios
Natural cork is one of the lesser known and lesser-used flooring materials. What it lacks in popularity, it makes up in practicality and environmental-friendliness. For practical purposes, cork flooring is much easier to maintain than hardwood floors; it is also more environmentally-friendly, as it only requires stripping the bark from cork trees, rather than killing the trees and replanting them.
If you are in need of information on specific patterns of natural cork flooring, you will definitely want to check out Design Biz, located at http://www.designbiz.com. This site offers information on natural cork flooring—and will give you the low-down all of your options in terms of style. Natural cork flooring tends to have similar texture and grains, but has a variety of different patterns and colors.
Http://www.corkfloor.com is also a great site to visit if you are in need of information on cork flooring or anything related. This site offers information on every aspect of cork flooring, as well as the option to order the flooring that best suits your needs. You can buy what you need from this site, and then lay the floor yourself. If you do not want to do your own labor, you can still purchase your natural cork flooring here, and then hire a contractor to perform the rest of the work.
Cork flooring is also resilient when compared to other soft woods. It can last through seasonal changes and denting. Additionally, the only thing that happens to cork under pressure is that the air inside of it compresses. This means that the floor will never crack; unlike what you will find with ceramic tiles.
If you plan to refloor your house in the near future, and live somewhere where weather changes seasonally, you may want to purchase natural cork to ensure that your flooring lasts long and doesn't warp.
