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 is a renewable natural resource harvested from the bark of cork oak trees – which makes a cork floor an environmentally conscious choice that is ideal for both homes and public spaces.

Why choose cork parquet?

  • Thermally insulating – warm underfoot even in cold weather

  • Sound-absorbing – reduces footstep noise both in the room and for the floor below

  • Elastic and soft – comfortable underfoot and eases the strain on joints and back

  • Antistatic – does not attract dust or build up static charge

  • Hypoallergenic – cork does not collect dust and is well suited to allergy sufferers. The material is also resistant to mould and termites

  • Antibacterial and virus-repellent – the natural properties of cork make it resistant to bacteria and certain viruses, helping to create a healthier indoor climate

  • Renewable and sustainable material – made from the bark of cork oaks, harvested without harming the trees

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

Cork parquet for every interior

Cork parquet is available in many shades and textures – from classic designs that highlight the natural cork surface to wood and stone effects. This makes it easy to find the right floor for modern, Scandinavian and rustic interiors alike.
