Cork flooring - the eternal classic among natural floors
Cork flooring - the natural floor covering as an all-rounder
Whether thermal insulation, footfall sound absorption or cosiness factor - cork floors offer many advantages in the world of house builders.
Cork floors are available in a wide range of variations. From wood, stone and concrete looks to trendy designs, anything is possible today with modern printing techniques. Even the classic Cork floor look has not yet had its day and is often used in kitchens where there is no underfloor heating.
We can even offer installation in the bathroom. We use a special sealant and special adhesives for this. This means that Cork parquet can be used in almost any area of the home.
The cork parquet insulates downwards, absorbs impact sound and has a warm and cosy effect.
Cork is a one hundred per cent natural raw material - yet no tree has to be felled for it. Only the bark of the cork oak is peeled off to produce cork. It is therefore a sustainable alternative in the home that is also completely recyclable.
What makes cork flooring so popular again? As underfloor heating was not used everywhere in the past, floors were often perceived as cold and noisy. Thanks to its insulation and impact sound absorption, cork parquet has a warm and cosy effect. The prerequisite is full-surface bonding by a professional.
We will be happy to show you the latest trends in this eternal classic, which is a natural floor, in our showrooms in Salzburg or Zell am See. We look forward to your visit!
