Top Three Benefits Of Cork Floors

1. Comfort & Durability

There is nothing quite like the feel of cork underfoot. Compared to standard hardwood floors, it's like walking on a cloud. The gentle give of cork is exceptionally flexible, and it springs right back into place as you lift your foot. This is especially comfortable in rooms where it's not uncommon to stand for long periods of time, like the kitchen, or rooms that require a soft place to land, like a home gym.

2. Safety & Insulation

The springiness of cork is precisely why it is such a safe flooring option. Those with arthritis or other joint problems will undoubtedly appreciate the cushioning cork provides. It also has great sound insulation and natural noise control capabilities, offering privacy and reduced noise for any room. Carolina Wood Floors has a full line of cork floors to fit your budget and style preferences.

3. Eco-Friendliness

Our environment is facing more and more challenges with each passing year, and it's easy to feel helpless in the face of such adversity. But we can each make small contributions to help the planet, and cork flooring is one way to accomplish this. Cork trees naturally regenerate their bark, they literally live for hundreds of years, and they’re an all-natural, minimally processed flooring alternative.
