The following product comes for DuroDesign's cork flooring collection. The flooring comes in six different patterns and 54 colors and it is cut very easily in order to create different patterns and looks depending on what the client requests. Cork is a great alternative for flooring because it is a renewable resource that does not harm the trees while it is harvested. The unique aspect of DuroDesign's cork is the fact that their flooring comes 100% from recycled wine corks.
Cork absorbs sound and impact and it also stays warm. One downside to cork is the fact that it is a softer material and leaving a very heavy piece of furniture on it for a prolonged amount of time will cause it to dent. The cork can be applied in two ways, as tiles or as click-together floating floor.
The flooring is finished with MP765, a high-traffic water-base polyurethane system. There is no off gassing when this product is used to finish the flooring and the VOC content is very low due to the fact that it is water based. The flooring qualifies for the following LEED credits
- LEED® MR Credit 4.1 and 4.2: Recycled Content
- LEED® MR Credit 6: Rapidly Renewable Materials
- LEED® EQ Credit 4: Low-Emitting Materials
Depending on the demand for the flooring at the time as well as the amount the client requires determines the availability and pricing of it.
