Is cork floor suitable for use in the bathroom

In the selection of the bathroom floor, the tiles are usually chosen for waterproofing and cleaning. However, in the winter, the tiled bathroom always carries a hard and cold texture, and every time people lose the courage to take a shower.
So when I saw the cork flooring, which was made of soft temperament, the first reaction was that it was not suitable for the bath in our room.

The answer is yes, of course, and it works!

Cork flooring has almost zero water absorption and is not afraid of oil and water.

Under the microscope, there are 40 million airbag tissues per square centimeter of cork, and each cell contains more than 95% of the air. It is the space between the cells that determines the water and moisture resistance of the cork. Since most of the cell walls are sealed, their mutual extrusion will also cause the water to evaporate quickly, and the cork itself will not change, ensuring the long-lasting use of the cork flooring. In addition, the adhesive cork flooring itself has relatively strong waterproof and moisture-proof properties. For example, Xiamen fruit uses special surface sealing technology after paving, which can be used in the bathroom and has excellent water resistance and moisture resistance. 

The cork flooring is soft and elastic and non-slip.

Because the softwood’s own honeycomb structure gives it natural elasticity, the texture is very comfortable. The anti-skid coefficient reaches 6 levels. If children and the elderly fall down accidentally, the elastic force of the floor can play a buffering role, effectively reducing the impact of the ground on the body, and providing a guarantee for safe walking in the bathroom. Incidentally, because one foot is able to support your body steadily, it greatly improves the pressure on people’s heels. Long-term action on such a ground can alleviate the fatigue of the back nerves.

The cork floor is warm in winter and cool in summer, alleviating the change of indoor temperature, you will always be in a warm environment.

From the physical properties of cork flooring, its thermal conductivity is low, which means that the heat transfer rate is slow, and it is basically kept at a constant temperature throughout the year, which makes people feel very comfortable, even in the winter facing the bathroom. Dare to walk barefoot.
