Eco-friendly floating cork floor with a tougher finish in 12"x36" panel

Amorim Wicanders Cork Essence Collection contains a variety of plank floating floors that are beautiful, eco-friendly and rich in style, charm and sophistication. The XtraMatt + finish adds additional protection from abrasion and moisture. These cork floors are quiet, warm and comfortable underfoot. They can be easily installed without glue by floating over most flat, stable subfloors made of concrete, plywood or even over existing vinyl, linoleum or tile floors.

Cork is Nature's original green floor. It is completely renewable because it's made from the bark of the cork oak tree that is harvested every six to nine years. Unlike hardwood, tile, carpet or vinyl, cork flooring is mold and mildew-resistant, fire-resistant, dent-resistant, and hypoallergenic.

Because of its natural resilience, cork flooring will outperform and outlast most other types of flooring. That's why it has been used in many public buildings such as schools, hospitals, hotels, offices, and courtrooms, some of which have been in use for close to 100 years. That's sustainable!

Natural Cork is manufactured with no harmful adhesives such as formaldehyde or isocyanates, and contains no VOCs in its finish. Amorim Wicanders Cork Essence Collection is GreenGuard Gold Certified to ensure that it does not contribute to harmful odors in your home or office.

Cork flooring is commonly used in children's rooms, family rooms, music rooms or kitchens because it provides a durable, quiet, and comfortable surface to work or plan on. Amorim Wicanders Cork Essence floating floors feature 2G CorkLoc glueless installation which allows for an easy DIY installation. For areas of higher moisture or heavy pet traffic, we recommend the Amorim Waterproof cork.

Amorim Wicanders Cork Essence Collection complies with ASTM standards for sound transmission with an IIC impact insulation class rating of 58 (ASTME492/ASTM E989) and an STC Classification for sound insulation of 54 (ASTM E90/ASTM E413).
