We have offered Cork flooring at Duralum Carpets for about 3 years now. The first 2 years we have been getting some questions here and there. This past year I have seen the interest in cork flooring skyrocket! Why? We are located in Stevens Point, WI. And it seems to take fashion and flooring trends awhile to make it to us. Well now cork flooring has really arrived. Here are some of the reasons:
- Warmth and heat retention.
- Very quiet.
- Less fatiguing to walk on.
- Cork is a renewable resource.
- Excellent for allergy sufferers.
- Easy to install yourself.
- Beautiful style & colors available.
Here is a nice video on cork .
This is how cork is harvested. Note that the tree is 25 to 35 years old before first harvesting. But after that you can harvest every 9 years.
