Beautiful Renovation With Creme Color Cork

Cork floating floors is a designed so that it can be quickly installed by any homeowner and requires a minimum amount of tools and knowledge. With its tongue and groove locking system, a customer does not need to use glue or nails to snap the floor together. The above photo is from one of our customers who was able to complete their renovation quickly so they could enjoy their new flooring and room.
Building a spec home is always a risk since the builder is paying for the cost of the home out of pocket and only gets paid when they sell the home. Because of this builders typically build a home in a way that will appeal to the most buyers so that they can sell the house quickly. However one of our customers decided be bold and use cork flooring and other sustainable materials to make their home as green as possible. If the building industry had more people like this our community would not be filled with energy sucking McMansions.

Cork Flooring: A modern floor choice
01/24/2012
Architect Bob Borson was asked to install cork in one of his clients homes and below are some thoughts on his research on the product.
Cork flooring is a bit of a mystery – not just to me but to everyone I’ve ever asked … although they don’t all admit it. If you do any research on cork at all, you will find all sorts of conflicting information. Normally I could turn to my overwhelming experience and share more information than you would ever want to know except I have only used cork on the floor in a project once before – in this kitchen:
The client who requested this cork floor does a lot of entertaining and cooking so invariably spends hours at a time on her feet while in the kitchen. I do love the way this kitchen looks – so clean and modern – every time I look at it I ask myself “why aren’t more people using cork?”
I spent a lot of time looking for reasons to use or not use cork. I’ve skimmed millions of pro/con lists … and I have come to the conclusion that everybody has different opinions and experiences. People equally love it or hate it, there doesn’t seem to be any consistency and it’s driving me crazy!!!! The cork I’m talking about isn’t the stuff you buy to use on the typical bulletin board – that stuff is not nearly as dense and can fall apart fairly easily. No, the cork used for floors can be some amazing stuff. Read More

Figge Art Museum used cork flooring for their Frank Loyd Wright exhibit. Frank Loyd Wright was a big believer in cork flooring and he used it in many of his homes. One of the best examples of his Prairie House design is The Martin House in Buffalo New York. This home is a masterpiece and one of the products used is cork flooring in the bedrooms.
