Cork: A Great Flooring Choice For The New Year

FacebookTweetPinPrintLinkedIn

The festive period has been and gone and you have enjoyed it to the max. Not least as you had moved into your new house a few months earlier with your wife and young child as you spent the first Christmas together as a family.

The house is in reasonable condition, but you naturally want to add your own style to it and make it fit and comfortable for the needs of those of you living there. The wiring was a huge priority, and the decorating can be done in due course, as you fancy yourself as a bit of a handyman. However, the floors have not really been looked after properly and need some work to them with your thoughts swaying towards a flooring supplier that you have discovered.

Also on your mind were several other options. Vinyl looked alright, but wasn’t quite what you were looking for, and the same went for a laminate floor. Carpeting seems old fashioned and tiles are not really family friendly. Refinishing the floors seemed a long and laborious process, so it was the cork tiles Australia homeowners prefer that won the day, as you could see several beautiful and affordable options available.

They Come In A Variety Of Colours

The tiles are glued into position and come in at least three natural colours, with light and medium being of the natural shades of brown generally associated with cork. You would also find a dark grey shade, almost like charcoal. The range of available colours ensures that you will find something to suit all areas and are able to match it with furnishings and decorations.

Character

There are some cork floorings that still require sanding and finishing on the site, which does allow for custom stains to be added as appropriate, adding a distinctive character to your floors. Perhaps you are going for a rustic feel, which often looks great in the bathroom? A cork flooring has the look of stone.

Environment-Friendly

Cork is a fantastic material for changing a house into a home with a completely green process of production. By choosing this type of flooring you are supporting a pro-environment business. This is because trees need not be cut down to produce cork; rather, it is simply the bark of the tree that is being harvested every few years.

So Many Options

Of course, there is absolutely no need to go with just one cork product, or indeed one colour or style as cork is ideal for mixing depending on rooms. The flooring is available in tile and plank form of several sizes, allowing for a seamless floor or the use of different tiles for your own unique style.

Soundproof

A cork flooring is soundproof, which is perfect when you have a child running around the house who is likely to drop things. It is ideal for you to block out other noise too, which leads to a better night’s sleep so you have energy for a family walk.

Impact-Resistant

Using cork flooring means that it is impact-resistant, so there are no worries when the toddler does drop items, or you drop your smartphone. It is an excellent shock absorber when takes away the sound of landing objects, and there is less chance of damage.

Natural Fire Retardant

As the natural material only ignites at extremely high temperatures, it offers safety and peace of mind in the home, and even when it does catch fire, it generates less smoke and releases less toxic than other flooring options.
