Wicanders Cork Flooring: Renewable, Sustainable 

Cork is made from the bark of the Cork Oak tree. The tree must be at least twenty five years old to be harvested, and the bark can only be harvested off of a tree every nine years. In time, the bark grows back on the tree, healthier than before. Cork is extremely renewable and self sustaining. This is why cork floors are so environmentally friendly. Cork is mainly found and harvested in Southern Europe, including Portugal.

To make a cork floor, the cork bark is stripped from the tree, ground, and processed into sheets. These sheets are then baked in a kiln.  Suberin, a natural ingredient found in cork bark, naturally repels insects and moisture, and also acts as a fire retardant.

A cork floor is virtually maintenance free. To care for your floor, vacuum or sweep it once a week. When a little extra care is needed, just damp mop it occasionally.  About once a month should do.

Cork floors also offer unsurpassed thermal insulation. Cork is cellular in nature, which makes it a great natural insulator. It’s the perfect choice for a room where you may need or want a little extra insulation, like your bedroom or basement floor. If you live in an area subject to dry air, a cork floor is also static resistant. Say goodbye to nasty carpet shocks.
