natural cork bamboo floors

Bamboo wood flooring is commonly manufactured through a process that starts by splitting and flattening the bamboo. The layers of bamboo are then dried and laminated with glue under high pressure. In order to produce bamboo hardwood flooring that has coloring similar to that of darker woods, the bamboo is heated, a process that softens the bamboo. This means that darker bamboo floors are generally softer than the lighter ones.

Natural Cork

Natural Cork is a flooring company, but this article is not about the company. I personally have had major problems with the company and cork products, though I hear things might have gotten better, so want to address the concept of natural cork, the product instead.

Cork is a great flooring product to work with, and it can be used for a wider range of applications than just floor. Consider it for walls, ceilings, and showers. It insulates and buffers sound. It’s great!

Floors are more than just functional. They offer you the opportunity to make them into an integral part of your room. A great choice for your floor and one of the best, that many homeowners do not even consider is natural tile cork flooring. 

It is a natural material that does not dictate that any trees be cut down or any damage done to the tree that may harm it. Natural cork flooring, as opposed to synthetic cork, is a wonderful “green” or environmentally friendly choice for your floors that is not just functional, but beautiful as well.
