Made from the bark
of the cork oak tree, cork flooring is fluid in their looks and
durable in quality. They give a natural look to your home and
are scratch resistant. No doubt cork flooring reviews are
positive among people who have it on their floor. Housewives say
that it stands against the dropped cricket bats, hockey sticks
and is just a sponge away when the milk drops to the floor. You
can clean it easily. Most reviews also mention the soothing
effect it has on your feet. You can stand on it for hours
against the normal marble tile, which gets hard on your feet.
As they are supple on your feet, they reduce noise and do not
act or react to any fluids. In other words clean it with
whatever you want, there is nothing going bad. The only drawback
review it faces is that it can be gauged by any heavy article.
So even if your pots fall on it, there is a depression mark that
is created.. |
But then again any heavy-duty article
falling on the floor can be the reason for it to chip.
When buying you have to be careful about the price you will be paying.
No doubt it is expensive because it comes from a natural resource and
will last for decades to come. But at the same time you should not be
fooled over cork flooring prices. So on the onset at least try 3
retailers in India before you make up your mind. Try wholesalers too,
because you are planning to do your hall or inside rooms. If it is the
entire house then a wholesaler will be the best to crack a deal as you
are buying in bulk.
Cork floorings and bamboo floorings are often debated upon. So let’s
check who scores more on cork vs bamboo flooring. Cork flooring has many
advantages. It is natural as it comes from the cork oak tree. The bark
is peeled every nine or fourteen years and lives for decades together.
It is fire retardant, so even if something burning falls on it, the fire
does not spread. It diminishes sound, as sound waves cannot penetrate
through it. So put it on the floor or the wall to sentence out noisy
neighbours forever.
Also being insect repellent, you can forget about termites or any other
bacteria growing under your feet. Cork floorings are given a number of
coats so that its durability is maintained and it looks as good as new
for decades to come.
In comparison bamboo flooring too has similar advantages. It too is
natural, flame retardant and supple under your feet. But gets chipped if
a heavy substance falls on it. But overall the look is completely
different. So it is up to you to weigh the pros and cons and your
inclinations before you get them laid at home. The cork oak tree has an
average life span of 500 years, and has been naturally created to ward
off forests fires that take place regularly. The naturalness of the cork
tree is reflected in the over 40 million cells that it contains per
cubic meter. No doubt natural cork flooring, gives you the advantage of
nature and hardwood flooring..
