Yes, Waterproof Cork Flooring – Cork Look is a highly durable, 100% waterproof solution, perfect for areas like kitchens where spills are common. This cork floor offers a comfortable, compressible surface with an elastic composition, which helps relax the feet, ankles, hips, and back, ideal for those with back or spine concerns. Unlike tile, laminate, or hardwood, cork flooring in kitchen installations can provide superior walking comfort.
When installing over ceramic tile, ensure all soiling (grease, oil, dirt) is thoroughly removed, especially on older floors. Re-fix any loose tiles, and roughen the tile surface by sanding or wire brushing. The floor flatness should not exceed 3/16 inch over a 6-foot span, and grout joints should be no wider than 5/64 inch or deeper than 3/64 inch. For larger grout lines or embossed tiles, use a floor leveler to skim coat. For a truly waterproof installation, the cork vinyl flooring must be glued down rather than floated.
