About Cork Tiles
Cork tiles glue down to the sub floor to create a completely natural flooring that's extremely pleasant to walk on.
Cork is warm to the touch and cushy underfoot. Cork tiles are suitable for any room in a house, even full bathrooms, as the cork itself does not absorb moisture because it consists of millions of tiny closed cells filled with air. Cork tile (solid or veneered) in general is suitable for bathrooms. Ideally one would install unfinished material to be finished in place to help seal joints. However, if pre-finshed cork tile is being used (a good choice for most residential situations), a coat of liquid wax cleaner over VidaTM is optimal.
Our other style of cork flooring, laminated cork planks, are not suitable for bathrooms or other wet spaces. Cork tiles are constructed in a solid or veneer style. In the solid style, the pattern goes all the way through. In the veneer style, the pattern is a thin cork veneer over a cork base. Solid cork tiles are the best choice for higher traffic areas (hallways and entryways) because it is easiest to repair the finish on these tiles.
