Cork Floor

Cork floors are insulating floors, resistant to wear and the passage of time, and do not easily deform.

Low cost, easy maintenance, low thermal conductivity which means it doesn't get too cold, and resistance to time and wear make cork flooring the most suitable flooring material for our homes.

It can be found in tiles of various sizes, colors and textures that will not deform easily, even under the weight of furniture or knocks. Another aspect worth paying attention to in the case of cork flooring is its permeability.

When laying this type of floor and achieving good adhesion, it is very important that the floor on which it is to be laid is completely free of dust and dirt. It must be even, because cork floors will adapt to the surface relief. If another type of flooring is installed, such as carpet, linoleum or vinyl flooring, it must be removed before the cork is installed. Once removed, the floor should be sanded with a polisher or orbital sander to give a smoother finish with no streaks or scratches.

Finally, you need to clean and vacuum the area well.

If cracks are found, they should be patched. If the cracks are small, you will need to enlarge them to cover them with a lot of putty, otherwise it will fall off over time. After drying, the floor should be sanded and cleaned. If a cork floor is installed on a parquet floor, first degrease and remove the varnish from the wood to facilitate the adhesion of the cork sheets.
