The difference of cork and solid wood flooring

Environmental friendly.
Compared to solid wood flooring, cork flooring is more environmental friendly. First of all, the cork floor is made from the bark of the oak tree. After the harvest, the trees will continue to grow new bark without any damage. Solid wood flooring is the need to harvest trees for value. Secondly, the cork material itself is non-toxic and harmless, which can be immersed as the wine and champagne wine plugs that are widely used in softwood and are directly immersed in the wine directly consumed without any contamination of the wine.

Moisture resistance.
Compared with solid wood flooring, the moisture-proof function of cork flooring will be very good. Solid wood flooring is very afraid of moisture and it will cause warping and deformation. If the water is always corroded underneath and is not sucked dry, the time will be long and the floor will decay. The cork flooring will not decay, which can be answered by the reflection of the cork barrels and cork in the centuries old. After a rigorous paving, it can even be placed in the bathroom.

Comfortable.
Under the microscope, it will be found that cork is composed of many cork cells placed in a honeycomb shape, and the cells are filled with air. This extra layout and composition make the cork flooring soft and flexible. The effect of pressure, even if the extraordinarily heavy furniture is pressed on top to form a small indentation, it can be restored to its original state after the weight is removed. And this extraordinary honeycomb layout constitutes the function of noise reduction and sound absorption and warm and comfortable feet.

Wear resistance.
The cell layout of cork has determined that it is more wear resistant than solid wood flooring. Cork is made up of countless airbags. The exterior constitutes countless small suction cups. When the footsteps touch the ground, the cork flooring will slightly absorb the footsteps on the ground, reducing the relative displacement of the footsteps and the floor, reducing conflicts, and then extending. The wear time and service life of the floor.

Quiet.
Cork flooring is recognized as a quiet floor, because each cell of cork is a small pressure absorber, elastic; each cell is a small shock absorber, safe and silent; other cork flooring devices are not required Playing the keel, with the direct touch on the ground, there is some existence of the keel center hanging so the mute effect is particularly obvious;

Flame retardant.
Cork has outstanding flame retardancy and will naturally calm down after it leaves the fire.

Insect resistance.
Cork is not afraid of insects. It is well known that solid wood products are most afraid of insects, especially in the humid climate in the south. But the insects are not interested in the taste of the cork, so even in the cold and humid wine cellar, the wine bottles are inverted and there is no cork plugged with insects, and the appearance of the wine flows out.

Scope of application:
Solid wood flooring is generally used in the bedroom, living room, study, etc. of the family, that is, other indoor areas except the kitchen, laundry room and bathroom. Cork flooring is warm, non-slip and flexible, suitable for children’s rooms and elderly rooms; the sound reduction function of cork flooring can minimize noise, so it is also suitable for study, bedroom, sound room, etc.
