Cork products are great for soft, warm and almost silent floors. Cork flooring can be used in almost any room of the apartment - in the bedroom, corridor, children's room, living room. The floors are pleasant to the touch, they have a cushioning effect due to the elastic structure of the cork.
Natural cork is best suited for creating floors in children's rooms. With its help, you can protect children from injury during outdoor games. Due to the high elasticity, the cork absorbs and smoothes the impacts, so children do not get serious bruises when they fall.
The market offers a wide range of cork materials in the form of plates, panels, tiles. The product is an agglomerate of crushed cork, which is pressed and glued with binding resins. The low concentration of glue makes it possible to consider products completely safe for health. As binders, certified types of glue permitted by European standards are used.

Cork products can be selected by color, texture, size. Many products have excellent decorative properties and can be used without additional staining. As a protective coating, manufacturers use a wax composition, designed to prevent the penetration of dirt and moisture into the cork.
How do cork coatings improve the microclimate?
In a room with cork slab floors, it becomes much warmer, and the conditions for mold formation are eliminated. Cork has pronounced bactericidal properties, therefore it inhibits the reproduction of microorganisms. It is a hygienic, hypoallergenic material that does not cause allergic reactions. The air in a cork-covered room becomes cleaner.
Care of cork floors is practically not required
The cork withstands mechanical stress, temperature changes, and high humidity well. It retains its appearance and technical characteristics without requiring special care. To keep the floors in perfect condition, it is enough to restore the wax coating, clean the contaminated areas with the help of specialized preparations.
If there are scratches and heavy dirt, you can independently eliminate defects and restore an attractive appearance to the floors. Cork floors are restored without resorting to replacing expensive material.
