WHY WE LIKE IT

Easy to fit - Just glue down and roller on matt lacquer for durability and water-resistance

Tough - suitable for busy family homes and commercial spaces alike. This gorgeous white cork flooring is great for kitchens and hallways

This is beautiful white cork flooring at it's very best. The varied texture and a natural colouring of the cork is allowed to shine through a modern wash of white. This was such popular Corka plank finish we decided to bring it out in on-trend parquet. One of the strengths of this cork tile is its versatility: it looks equally good in a small bathroom as it does as in a large space as a commercial cork flooring. Close

Climate positive - Corka actually removes more carbon from the atmosphere than is used in its manufacture

Warm and quiet - Cork’s natural honeycomb structure makes it extremely quiet and comfortable underfoot. Works well with underfloor heating too

Pure - Cork is naturally hypoallergenic so it’s a great choice for allergy sufferers

CONTEMPORARY
CORK

Our Corka gluedown tiles are made from pure cork, a completely
natural raw material, which is biodegradable, renewable and recyclable. The cork oak is an evergreen which grows up to 20m high and lives for up to 200
years. The bark has a honeycomb cell structure and is a natural fire retardant with exceptional insulating properties. No trees are cut down during harvesting. The process requires great expertise (it is the highest paid job in Portuguese agriculture) and involves carving the bark off once every nine years. The first harvest takes place only 25 years after planting.

Climate positive

All of our cork comes from a 700,000-hectare forested ecosystem in southern Portugal known as the Montado, whose trees are protected by law. These forests make a significant contribution to reducing global warming, capturing anestimated 5 percent of the country’s annual CO2 emissions, or 4.8 million tons per year. The sustainably managed cork forests support many endangered species including the Imperial eagle, wolves and the Iberian lynx, one of the most endangered cats in the world.

Commercial grade
Corka tiles are a tried and trusted choice for both domestic and commercial applications. Manufactured in a state-of-the-art factory in Portugal, they are
extremely hard-wearing and designed to showcase cork in all its beautiful, natural variation. This may include filled knots, small holes and natural irregularities of the bark. With our coloured Corka, the surface colour is intended as a subtle wash which will not mask the natural grain of the plank. 

Wellness

The natural flexibility of the material softens impacts and makes for a perfect, relaxing walking surface. Corka is warm, hypoallergenic and best in class for indoor air quality, as shown by numerous international certifications such as Green Guard Gold, TUV, LEAD, BREEAM and the French A+ label.

These gluedown cork tiles are easy to lay and work well with underfloor heating. They can be installed in almost all domestic areas and in most commercial spaces too. Our Corka parquet tiles come part-finished for quick finishing on site. Many of our customers lay the flooring themselves as a DIY project, but if you are looking for an experienced fitter, we can help – just email us your postcode.

With its tough protective surface treatment, our Corka is easy to clean and maintain: simply sweep or vacuum and then wash it using a damp cloth or well-wrung mop. And if it should get damaged, it’s easily repairable, with a colour-matched wood filler or a replacement plank.
