Does anyone know anything about cork flooring?
I am doing my basement and putting in a jam room for my band to practice in. I was thinking about Cork Flooring but don’t know too much information.. any Pros or Cons? -Thanks, I appreciate it
Hi, Cork is extremely durable, Chicago’s First Congregational Church has had their floor since 1890.
My sister-in-law had tile in her first kitchen and hated how her feet and back ached when standing on it for long periods of time so her next house she put cork and loves it. It has a finish on it so it does not stain.
Friends also ripped up their carpet and put it in their bedroom as they were having sinus troubles. Cork is hypoallergenic as has a natural substance in it that makes it resistant to mold and insects.
Cork is a sustainable environmentally friendly product and has a great appearance.I would phone a reputable flooring store and make sure you have someone that has experience install it. Hope this helps.

It’s cool. It ranges from $1.50 to $3.00 sq/ft depending on style, type and where you buy it. Cheap and easy to install.
Not as durable as hardwood but it is good. Gives a little cush. Insulates the floor

We took out our carpet for cork flooring. Easy installation, quite a variety of colors from which to choose, cushy and insulating.
We like it a lot, however, we have been fairly rough on it, it seems to gouge easily. We put felt pads on all our furniture, still we have movement, dropping things, sliding things.
We were told it didn’t need any protection, but if we do cork again we’ll try and find something to make it a bit more scratch resistant.
