Cork flooring is a popular floor covering due to its many beneficial properties. Cork tree bark has an average 500-year lifespan. Cork is stripped off a tree every few years instead of taking it down. As a result, cork flooring is an environmentally conscious alternative to other types of wood flooring. Since cork protects trees, it retains its natural safety features. Cork flooring is flexible and fire resistant. Cork also holds up well to temperature changes. In addition, cork flooring has a soft feeling as you walk across it.
