Cork floors will have you walking on air

(NC)—If you're looking for an uplifting improvement to your home that is actually good for the environment, you should consider the surprising merits of cork flooring.

Unique, eye-catching looks have always been an appealing cork feature, and lately its earth-friendly personality is getting attention as an added benefit for Canadian homeowners.

The story is simple, remarkable, and very positive. Cork floors are made with an entirely renewable resource. Cork bark is carefully harvested once every nine years from cork oak trees in a time-honoured tradition using hand tools – without destroying a single tree. Many century-old cork trees are still thriving and productive today in the beautiful forests of Portugal and Spain.

This is a durable floor that also adds warmth, quiet, and comfort like no other. That's because cork is 50% air. Nature has gifted cork with a dense air cushion composition that insulates against cold and improves sound absorption in any room. Now you can bring a sense of calm to the noisiest traffic areas – a perfect fit for your kitchen, playroom, or family room.

Cork will beautify your home to suit your style or inspiration, whether it's casual, modern, or relaxed country. When sampling these richly textured planks or tiles that please the eye and the pocket book, you'll actually feel like you're walking on air.
