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. |
