Cork Flooring Solution for Your Bathroom

One of the most common flooring solutions for the bathroom is ceramic tiles. However, who wants to be like everyone else when you can be unique. An alternate solution for flooring in your bathroom is cork flooring. Cork flooring is made out of cork from the cork oak tree (Quercus Suber) which is grown in southwestern Europe and Northwestern Africa. One of the major benefits of cork flooring is the fact it’s eco-friendly and safe for the environment. The method used to harvest cork doesn’t harm the cork oak tree and allows it to re-grow and be harvested over and over again. So, not only would you have unique flooring in your bathroom, you would also be helping the environment.

One of the primary things you need when look for a bathroom flooring solution is a floor type that can withstand moisture and water. Unlike other types of wood flooring cork is an excellent product for this type of situation. Cork flooring has a waxy substance that naturally occurs in it called Suberin. This substance allows cork to withstand moisture, mold, mildew and bacteria growth. This makes cork flooring an excellent bathroom flooring solution. Tests have proven that cork flooring is also resistant to insects and has anti-static properties to prevent the build up of allergens and dander.

Cork flooring is also easy to keep clean and require little maintanence; monthly mopping with a damp mop and a PH balanced detergent is all that’s required to keep your cork flooring looking brand new. It’s also simple for the do-it-yourself type to install, many types of cork flooring don’t even require glue.
