Cork floors are great because they can be used in a kitchen, bathroom, or in the entire home. When you are considering replacing your current flooring you must think about choosing cork floor.
Cork for flooring is harvested from a cork oak tree. This is not like when hardwood floors are made because the cork tree is not cut down to produce the flooring. The cork from the cork tree is harvested every nine years. One side of the tree is stripped of the cork and this is the cork that is used to manufacture the flooring. In turn the tree is not killed and the forest is unharmed. Cork flooring is a major environmental choice.
It has been believed that the cork trees live for over two hundred years because they are not killed. The process that is used to obtain hardwood floors is one that kills the trees and the new trees need to grow for up to fourty years before becoming mature. Also the cork floors are produced from the waste products from corks from wine bottles. Therefore cork is harvested and the floors are made in an environmentally fashion.
This doesn't mean that the cork floors are not very beautiful; they are in fact beautiful and unique. You can choose from a variety of colors and styles too. Any style from hardwood, cork, marble and more, along with just about any color. The finished product of your cork floors can come in an array of different patterns.
By deciding to install cork floors into your home instead of any other flooring you are doing the environment a huge favour that it now needs. Your cork floors will also be a conversation topic for many years.
