Cork flooring is a wood based flooring material that is made from the bark of the cork oak tree (Quercus Suber). The reason cork flooring is considered an eco-friendly product and a natural renewable resource is because the bark from the cork oak tree can be continuously harvested throughout its lifespan. Cork flooring is very durable and can last a lifetime if properly cared for. The structure of cork allows it compress up to 40% and return to its natural shape without damage; just like a cork in a wine bottle. Cork flooring isn't the cheapest flooring material however its beauty and durability out weigh the material costs by far.
