Cork Parquet
Cork flooring is a warm, quiet floor covering made from natural cork that feels soft underfoot. The cellular structure of cork absorbs footfall noise and retains heat. Our range includes Granorte, Lico and Naturtrend cork floors in a variety of colours and designs.
Cork parquet is an environmentally friendly product because cork oak is the only tree species whose bark regenerates itself after harvesting. A cork oak tree with the cork cut off captures almost five times more carbon.
Cork parquet floors are soft and warm underfoot. It is nice to walk on the cork floor with bare feet. The cork is antistatic, sound-absorbing, fire-resistant and suitable for installation on underfloor heating. In addition, the cork is antibacterial. The cork is well suited for allergy sufferers because it contains a natural substance that has an anti-microbial effect. The cork floor does not collect dust and does not allow mold to form. Cork parquet or cork underlays also help to reduce the effect of water veins. Cork is an ecological material and a particularly good solution for example in children’s rooms. The cork is easy to maintain and clean.

Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of cork flooring?
Cork is a natural, renewable material that is warm and soft underfoot and absorbs footfall noise. This makes cork flooring especially well suited to children's rooms, bedrooms and flats where a quieter floor matters.
Is cork flooring suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?
Cork flooring works well in a kitchen if the surface is lacquered and spills are wiped up straight away. Click cork flooring is not suitable for constantly wet areas such as showers, as its core is not waterproof.
Can cork flooring be laid over underfloor heating?
Yes, cork flooring can be used with underfloor heating, but cork is a good thermal insulator, so heat reaches the room more slowly. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations on surface temperature.
How should I care for cork flooring?
Clean cork flooring with a vacuum cleaner and a damp cloth, and use a care product suited to the finish. Fit felt pads under furniture legs to avoid marks.
Cork Parquet – A Warm, Quiet and Eco-Friendly Choice
Cork parquet is a floor covering made from natural materials that combines comfort, sound absorption and thermal insulation.

Cork parquet construction and finish
Modern cork parquet usually has a multi-layer construction that ensures good dimensional accuracy and durability:
-
Decorative top layer – natural cork or a wood-look design
-
HDF core – adds stability and makes click installation easier
-
Cork backing – adds softness and reduces footstep noise
Many models are coated with a ceramic lacquer that provides a durable, easy-to-maintain surface. Most products are ready for use immediately after laying.
Installation – floating or glue-down
Cork parquet can be installed in two ways: as a floating floor (click) or fully glued down.
Floating installation
-
Quick and easy
-
Requires a suitable underlay that provides sound and thermal insulation
-
Perfect for living rooms, bedrooms and children’s rooms
Glue-down cork parquet
-
Suitable for rooms with heavier loads or where maximum stability is desired
-
The best choice for rooms with underfloor heating – ensures better heat transfer
-
Dampens footstep noise even more effectively than floating installation
-
For installation, we recommend special cork parquet adhesives that provide a strong and durable bond
