Cork flooring looks great, feels great and is durable
For something really different that is becoming a big trend, check out cork flooring. Cork flooring is becoming the latest trend because of its super qualities. It is easy to stand on because it compresses slightly making it a perfect choice for kitchens where you are on your feet a lot when preparing meals.
Cork flooring offers a unique texture and look that you won't get from carpet, tile or laminate flooring. It is durable and very easy to maintain. All you need to do is vacuum off first and then wipe down with a damp cloth using mild soap.
If you are considering getting cork flooring you can choose to install it yourself or have a professional do it for you. It can be installed directly over your old flooring as long as it is level. This does not include carpet though. Cork flooring often requires no glue making it a breeze to install. Once layed you can place your furniture in the room immediately.
Even though cork flooring is durable, to keep it looking great for many years, it is always recommended to use felt padding on chairs and table legs. Check out this flooring on the web or shop in person at your local flooring store or hardward store. They will be able to give you some good advice on brands and quality of flooring for the price.
