An Exciting Product
Cork was at one time a common flooring product and because of its many benefits it is enjoying resurgence in popularity. While cork may be something you haven't used other than to plug a wine bottle or set a drink on, as flooring it has some impressive qualities to recommend it!
With more and more people "going green" or becoming environmentally minded, cork flooring is being seen as an excellent choice because rather than cutting down the whole cork tree, only the cork tree’s bark is used for cork flooring. It is simply peeled off the tree every nine years, and will then grow back without any harm to the tree in the process.
Surprising to many people is the spectrum of patterns and textures that cork flooring manufacturers have achieved. Colors also vary to an extent because during manufacturing cork is actually baked in ovens. The longer the cork is baked, the darker the color outcome.
Cork in the Home
Cork flooring provides a wonderfully peaceful environment in the home or workplace because it acts as a natural shock and sound absorber. Cork is durable and outlasts many other types of flooring. Natural air pockets make cork a great insulator, trapping heat and staying warm to the touch even when installed directly over concrete.
Maintenance of your cork floor entails basic sweeping or vacuuming, and spills can easily be wiped up with a sponge or paper towel.
Hypoallergenic, anti-static, antimicrobial, and insect repellent, cork is a healthy option for your home.

Testimonials
We just purchased 1210 sq ft of Mirage Lock in Maple Viennna Cashmere a few weeks ago. Just wanted to let you know that laying the flooring was a breeze. I have installed a fair amount of various types of flooring, but none has been as easy to lay as the Mirage Lock. There is virtually no waste. Each piece is milled exactly the same, with no variation from one piece to another. The locking system is so easy to put together, left to right, front to back or vice versa. A truly great product!
