Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Cork floor tiles are a environmentally friendly alternative to carpets in rooms where you want something warm under foot. Cork is comfortable to walk on, and it’s quiet too (it naturally insulates against sound), so it can be a great choice for children’s playrooms (for more on that, check out “Best Floors for Childrens Rooms“). The tiles are made from the bark of the cork oak tree. It’s ground, compressed, and heated. You can get the tiles in natural or ready-sealed states. If you use the natural tiles, the floor will need to be sealed with polyurethane varnish after its laid.
