Cork flooring provides comfort and durability

What styles of cork flooring are available?

Modern cork flooring offers far more variety than many homeowners expect. While natural cork remains popular for its organic beauty, today's collections include stained finishes, contemporary colors, and visuals inspired by hardwood.

Available in both plank and tile formats, cork complements rustic, transitional, and modern interiors alike. Whether you prefer light natural tones, warm browns, or rich contemporary colors, there's a style to match your home.

Our experienced design team can help you compare products and choose the right floor for your lifestyle and budget.

Where can cork flooring be installed?

Thanks to its comfort and sound-absorbing qualities, cork flooring works well throughout many residential and commercial spaces.

Popular installation locations include:

• Living rooms
• Family rooms
• Bedrooms
• Home offices
• Dining rooms
• Kitchens
• Finished basements with proper moisture control
• Retail stores
• Offices

Its ability to reduce noise also makes cork floor tiles a popular option for upstairs living areas, workspaces, and reading rooms.

Although many modern cork floors feature moisture-resistant finishes, prolonged exposure to standing water isn't recommended. Bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other high-moisture areas require careful product selection and professional installation. We'll help determine whether cork is the right fit for your project.
