ork is the bark of an oak tree known as Quercus Suber, which grows along the Mediterranean Sea; it regenerates every 9 years. It is a natural, environmentally friendly, rapidly renewable resource. For its distinctive features, cork has been used throughout history for fishing floats, bottle stoppers, and soles of shoes. Today, when used as a flooring material, it will contribute to LEED Certification. No trees are lost or damaged in the harvesting process. Cork has remarkable characteristics unmatched by any other flooring material. One cubic inch of cork contains more than 200 million completely enclosed air cells. This unique structure gives cork the attributes of resilience and durability, thermal and acoustic insulation, moisture resistance, antistatic and it is hypoallergenic. Cork flooring is comfortable, quite and warm under foot. Cork is strong, durable and lasting. Best of all, cork is beautiful, easy to care for and 100% natural – making it an ideal flooring choice for any room. It is available as a floating floor – great for older buildings where the floor is uneven – or glue down for both residential and commercial applications. Cork is available in tiles or planks and comes unfinished, waxed or with a Greenshield finish. For more information, contact Standale Interiors, 616-453-8201. See ad pages 7 & 46.
