Cork flooring is an ideal mix of the best of two different worlds. It borrows from the classic warm, smooth and elegant looks of a hardwood floor and the insulating effects of a synthetic material. The result is a floor which is beautiful to look at, easy to care for,quiet, soft and warm to the touch, yet durable enough to handle all kinds of traffic and weather conditions. When you are given examples of the versatility of the cork floor the first thing that comes to mind is "Does versatility cover up for looks?" Well that certainly is not the case with cork floors.

The look that cork lends to any décor can easily be mistaken to be hardwood. Cork being a natural product lends a warm and light look to any décor. It enriches any interior with its natural glow. Its texture is such that it easily blends with any kind of decorations and furniture. Hence it offers flexibility to the user with their interior design which almost no other flooring can offer. Even the color range that corks offers is very wide. You can choose from a wide range of honey shades for the rich coloring you need for your study or for your living room. Or you could choose experiment with shades of red, green, chocolate or even black Cork flooring is very environment friendly because no trees are felled for the wood. The cork used is produced from the bark which is stripped from the tree and grows again in some time.

Apart from the great looks, cork is also highly durable. As cork flooring is highly abrasion resistant it is also used for public
buildings like schools, hospitals, hotels and shops. Cork also happens to be water resistant, another quality that makes it a perfect choice for the children's room. As if all this was not enough cork flooring is insulating not only to temperatures but also to sound. This makes for fine acoustic flooring.

As a result of all these qualities cork flooring can basically be applied anywhere you want, be it your kitchen, family room, child's
room or even the bathroom.

In accordance with your décor the flooring is available in un-prefinished, floating floor and mosaic options. In these designs also various makes are possible. For example the un-prefinished make offers country, pebble, Athens, and various other
models. With the help of these models you can choose exactly the look that you want for your room such that the flooring blends with the rest of the décor.
The floating floors are ready to go with oak tiles which are completely finished by the time of the installation. These tiles are available in various options like traditional, chestnut and the ivory. Mosaic as the name suggests is a patterned option. You can go with one of the standard combinations on display or combine a number of different design tiles to make your own pattern. Mosaic is a great way of exhibiting your creativity and experimenting with design.
