More and more businesses and homeowners seeking a unique, environmentally conscious look for their surroundings are turning to cork flooring. Cork improves air quality, since it cannot absorb or release dust into the air. Cork “bounces back” – increasing comfort and reducing fatigue. And, cork is environmentally friendly. Cork is a unique natural product with characteristics unmatched by any other material. The bark consists of two hundred million closed air cells per cubic inch. These cells give cork resilience, durability, moisture resistance, and thermal and acoustic insulation.

Another common natural flooring is bamboo flooring. Bamboo is strong and flexible and lasts as long as most hardwoods, if not longer. Bamboo can withstand as many pounds per square inch as medium grade steel. It is naturally repellent to certain insects and bugs and is able to resist moisture. It does not shrink or swell as much as other commonly used woods for flooring, resulting in less holes or gaps in the floor. It is excellent to use in kitchens or baths.
