8 advantages of cork flooring

1, warm, comfortable, enjoy

Cork flooring is very comfortable due to its materials and special structure. There is neither the cold ice of the tiles nor the feeling of hard wood. On the lazy autumn afternoon, I tasted coffee, read my favorite book, stepped on the ground with bare feet, and walked freely at home. What kind of enjoyment?

2, environmental protection

The environmental protection of cork flooring is real. Its raw materials use natural recyclable oak bark, which does not destroy natural forests and protect forest resources.

The glue used in the manufacturing process is water-based polyurethane glue, which is the same as the glue used in synthetic wine corks. Since the wine that comes into direct contact with the cork can be used, there is any doubt about environmental protection.

3, mute

The general wooden floor, even if the product quality is first-class, the installation technology is perfect, there is still a great sound when people walk on it, which is caused by the product materials and installation process. Cork flooring is made up of many small airbags, which can effectively reduce the friction between the foot and the ground. The installation does not need to take the keel, directly contact with the self-leveling cement floor, no gap construction, the whole room is a whole, so the mute effect is very significant. Nowadays noise pollution is getting more and more serious. For rooms that need to be quiet, hospitals, libraries, conference rooms, etc., if you can install a full set of cork flooring and cork wallboard, the sound insulation effect will be very good.

3, non-slip, safe, flexible

China has entered an aging society, and there are more and more families with old people at home. The surfaces of tiles and other wooden floors are relatively smooth, especially when there are water droplets on the surface, people walking on them are not easy to slip. Older people are older, and once they fall on the hard floor, the consequences are unimaginable. Putting a cork floor on a house with an elderly person can not only remove the hidden danger, but also reflect the filial piety of the younger generation. Moreover, the cork flooring feels comfortable and does not feel tired when walking on the cork floor for a long time, which is beneficial to children’s bone growth and protects the knee joints of adults, especially the elderly.

4, moisture

Water and moisture deformation is the biggest shortcoming of ordinary wood flooring. Cork flooring is airtight and impervious. It does not warp when exposed to moisture, and its moisture resistance is far superior to other wood flooring.

5, flood control

Insect ant eclipse is another soft rib of the general wooden floor. Current solid wood flooring, engineered wood flooring and laminate flooring contain some starch, while insects most like the starch in the floor. In addition, the wooden floor is prone to mold when it meets water, and it is easy to attract insects. The cork flooring is not only starch-free, but also contains a component called tannin, which releases the smell of insect repellent, so the insects are not interested in cork flooring either in the wet Mediterranean or in the dry African continent. There are no records of cork floor worms.

6, wear resistance

Cork is composed of numerous airbags, and the surface forms numerous small suction cups. When the feet are in contact with the floor, the floor will slightly absorb the footsteps on the floor, reducing the relative displacement of the feet and the floor, and less friction. Thereby extending the wear time and service life of the floor and playing a wear-resistant role.

7, durable

Cork flooring is extremely durable due to its moisture resistance, tamper resistance and abrasion resistance. The average wood floor has a service life of 8-10 years, while cork flooring can generally be used for 20-30 years. The cork flooring of the ancient library (reading room) in the capital Beijing was installed by the Dutch in 1932. When it was repaired in 2000, it was worn for only 70 mm in 70 years.

8. Cork is a very good insulator, especially suitable for places where there are many electronic instruments and need anti-static.
