Vida Cork™ Flooring

Vida Cork is as easy to install as any laminate flooring, but instead of walking on plastic you get to spring along on cork, a natural surface that's warm to the touch, quiet and cushy. Cork is a great insulator; it's warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Vida Cork planks have six beautiful patterns that are available in different colors. The planks are 7/16 inch thick with three layers: a thick bottom cushion of cork, a thicker middle layer of hard density fiberboard (HDF) and a top 'wear layer' of compressed cork. The HDF layer is milled with a tongue and groove edge so that the interlocking edges click together and remain intact without any glue or nails. The finish is a UV cured hard wax oil.

Vida Cork can be installed where ordinary wood flooring can't go, such as over concrete, without the risk of having any irregularities show through. Planks feature the easy-to-install Uni-click system, perfect for the do it yourselfer.

Forbo Marmoleum – www.forbo-flooring.com

Natural Linoleum is one of the "greenest" of flooring materials. Its primary ingredients are wood flour & ground up cork. Organic pigments give the material its color, linseed oil binds it together, and lime is used as filler and finally Jute, a natural fiber, is used as a backing to help stabilize the material. Marmoleum click is ecologically produced linoleum plank flooring that comes in approximate sizes of 12 x 36 inch panels or 12 x 12 inch squares. It has a unique construction with the patented click system, which gives you the freedom to design your own patterns. Combined with a broad color palette Marmoleum click can give you a stylish floor that is easily installed and maintained. Marmoleum click is a high-quality product and the ideal flooring for most rooms in the home, from the hallway, kitchen and children’s rooms, where traffic is likely to be heaviest, to the living room, or bedroom.

Marmoleum click also has an anti-static property, which gives this floor an easy cleaning aspect. Because you can clean this floor easily, it helps the large group of people that have asthmatic allergies.

Natural Cork –www.naturalcork.com

Natural Cork manufactures high quality cork flooring. Products include a large selection of floating floors, tiles with unique patterns and colors, underlayments in rolls and sheets, and even wall tiles. Cork is a truly sustainable "green-building" material. Trees are grown and the bark is harvested in the centuries old tradition without harming either the tree or their habitat. Bark is initially sent to a factory to create stoppers for wine bottles. Flooring is then created from post-industrial by-product of the bottle-stopper industry. This 'waste' material is ground up and then formed into sheets using minimal amounts of adhesive to bind the particles together under high pressure.

In your home, cork floors can create a warm, comfortable, resilient surface that is gentle underfoot, anti-microbial, will not spread flame, and is inherently resistant to molds, mildews, and common pests. From harvest to production to installation, cork is environmentally sustainable, non-toxic, and healthy. Come in and see the different colors and patterns Natural Cork offers.
