Cork Floor Tiles are always the best for any kind of flooring. Everyone needs the best kind of flooring. The number-one reason is that, the minute you step on a floor tile with cork; your knees relax. It sends a great feeling through your feet to your brain, which tells you that you are stepping on something perfect. The quite insulating qualities enable you to stand for hours in the kitchen, do yoga in your room, and bedroom without feeling your feet frozen. Flooring your house with tiles made from cork gives you the following benefits.

• Cork is highly compressible and resilient. • It is an excellent thermal and sound insulator. • Cork is naturally resistant to mold and mildew. • It is very warm to touch • It is resistant to fire • It is stable in a wide range of temperatures. • It is highly versatile and can be put into wide uses. • Cork is a renewable resource.

Cork Floor Tiles come with different shapes and designs that allow you to choose the best that matched your flooring needs. They are made in different colors, but each one of them can match with any décor.

What Factors Should You Consider When Laying Cork FloatingFloor?

“Floating Floors” implies that the floor is not secured in the sub-floor and floats on top surface. Floating floors are laid down on top of most hardwood floors, ceramic tiles and vinyl. It should never be installed over the carpeting. Cork Floating floors should not be used in wet areas or sections of the house such as kitchens and bathrooms. This is because the cork floating floors contain more fiberboard than cork itself, and the fiberboard can actually swell whenever it gets wet.

When installing a floating floor, always ensure that the sub-floor is flat, even and dry. If there must be any variations, it should never exceed 1/8” over 8ft. All the voids should be filled to avoid the bouncing of the floating floor over the void area. In case you are laying it on top of hardwoods, the planks should be laid across the existing floorboard. If it is laid over concrete band ceramic floor, a moisture barrier should be installed before Cork floating floor is put in place. This will protect your floor against moisture and reduce the dampness. The moisture film should have a thickness of 0.01 inches and should allow at least 8 inches of overlap between sheets before tapping.

What Are The Advantages Of Floating Floors?

Someone should wonder why he/she should install a floating floor. The reasons are simple. A floating floor does not allow expansion and contraction, which minimizes cracking of your floors. This makes it the best choice for all summer homes where temperature variation is a norm. The floating floors are connected to each other to minimize gapping. It easy and simple to install since it is like a jigsaw puzzle.

Cork flooring has become the leading flooring technique around the world. It is clean and reduces dust allergies meaning it is safe. Hardwood cork floor tiles are very natural and eco-friendly. Make an order for them and you will be surprised by vast benefits that come with cork. It is a perfect choice for a perfect house.
