 Natural Cork®:
Nature’s Gift That Keeps Giving
Cork is comprised of millions of tiny air cells making it naturally resilient and comfortable underfoot. The unique cellular structure makes cork a great sound and thermal insulator. Natural Cork® floors are made from the bark of the Portuguese cork oak. No trees are cut down to harvest the bark and cork trees produce new cork for re-harvest every 9 years making cork a sustainable, environmetally friendly, and rapidly renewable resource. It is not uncommon for a cork oak to produce cork bark for 300 years or more. Great care is used to harvest the cork bark. Cork can only be harvested by hand so as not to harm the tree. Generations of debarkers can be found in the Montado, or cork forest, harvesting cork in the time honored Portuguese tradition.
Portuguese cork naturally provides amazing benefits without added chemicals or additives:
· resists mold and mildew
· resists fire
· resists pests including termites
USFloors uses only premium Portuguese cork for our Natural Cork® floors because of the quality, density, and resilience of the cork bark.
Natural Cork® floors are protected by our proprietary Endura AR® UV-cured finish. Endura AR® features advanced
generation abrasion resistance against everyday wear and superior cleanability for easy maintenance. Natural Cork® floors finished with Endura AR® require no more maintenance than a prefinished hardwood floor and will retain the beauty and performance characteristics for years to come.
