Doing It Differently With Textured Cork Flooring

Textured cork flooring makes a beautiful and unusual floor that creates a unique décor. If you’re tired of the same designs and styles of flooring that are used in millions of homes, and want something different from the standard designs, textured cork is the perfect alternative. Cork flooring has many advantages that also make it practical as well as great looking.

Textured cork flooring comes in several styles and each is one of the six cork tree patterns that grow naturally. You can buy cork tiles or cork planking. The flooring pieces can also be purchased with interlocking grooves that make installation easy and the pieces self-aligning.

Textured Cork Flooring

The decorative look of textured cork flooring enhances a room with its very uniqueness. The flooring comes in an array of shades and colors which are achieved through staining and is sealed to add durability and additional moisture resistance. Cork is naturally resistant to moisture on its own which is why it’s often used in kitchens, bathrooms and spa areas.

Textured cork flooring is long lasting flooring which wears very well. Because of its unique appearance, it is often used in the finest homes. But cork flooring is reasonably priced and affordable for most budgets. The advantages of cork flooring over traditional flooring include the following:

Highly resistant to stains and water
Adds sound proofing to the room
Warmer than other kinds of flooring
Durable
Unique appearance
Natural look
Flexible and easier to walk on

Textured cork flooring is ideal for people with allergies. Cork flooring is anti-allergenic and resistant to mold, mildew and bacterial growth. Unlike carpet which collects dust mites and produces static, cork flooring is clean and can be easily kept dust free.

Textured cork flooring is coming unto its own in the design world. It gets excellent reviews from interior designers and from people doing their own remodels. It’s easy to install and in most installations doesn’t even require adhesive. When no adhesive is used the flooring can be moved the next time you remodel if you so desire. Yet it adds a decorated appearance to any space making people believe you bought a more highly priced flooring.

When you are looking for great flooring that looks good, wears well and is comfortable to walk on, textured cork flooring is the answer. It’s an environmentally friendly flooring that is all natural.
