Cork Flooring

What is Cork Flooring?

With its excellent sound dampening qualities and insulation, cork is one of the most effective flooring products on the market. Traditionally used in places like churches and libraries, it is now rapidly becoming more popular in residential and commercial properties.

The cork flooring in Perth homes is naturally cushioned and flexible compared to other materials, which makes it exceptionally comfortable to walk on. This same characteristic is also what gives cork its resilience. Because it “springs back”, there are no imprints from heavy foot traffic, furniture, or other impacts.

The unique structure of cork flooring provides it with powerful sound control properties. This helps it absorb footfalls and other noise, which is tremendously helpful if the homeowner desires a peaceful ambience. In addition, the air cells trap heat and keep the floor warm, while giving it a degree of fire resistance.

It is highly sustainable and environmentally friendly, as cork is obtained by peeling away the bark without destroying the tree. This bark is harvested by hand, usually every nine years for maximum quality. Homeowners that are building a greener home will find that cork fits their values perfectly.

Even with these attractive qualities, cork is still very affordable, and is often within the same price range as hardwood. Planet Timbers is one of the leading providers of cork flooring in Perth, so you can count on us to deliver a quality product at a competitive rate.
