6 benefits of Cork flooring as an option for your home or office.

/在： /通过：

Cork flooring consists of a natural and renewable material that’s harvested from the bark of cork oak trees. Cork Flooring has sustained durability, an increased selection of looks, and eco-friendly appeal. Here are some reasons why you should consider cork flooring as a viable option for your home or office.

Safety
Cork will only melt or ignite at incredibly high temperatures. In the event of a combustion, cork generates less smoke and releases far less toxic material than composite flooring options such as vinyl or laminate.

Comfort
Cork flooring is easier on your feet because it allows for some give when under pressure. It also contains more insulation, which can lead to a warmer home.This is a strong factor to consider, especially for those who live in cold-weather states like Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Durability
Cork resists cracking and abrasions and holds up incredibly well against liquids. Cork also has the ability to retain its pristine form when furniture has been placed on it, so there won’t be any indent marks from furniture. When properly maintained, cork flooring can last a lifetime.

Practicality
The pattern and color of cork are able to penetrate the wear on the material, so your floor will always retain its durability and appearance, and will last far longer than other comfort materials like carpet.

 

Variety
Cork is available in tiles and planks in different styles, colors, and sizes. What was once only available in bulletin board style, cork planks can now create a seamless looking floor, while tile can provide an incredibly unique look by having alternative colors and patterns.

Health
Cork material is naturally resistant to mold, mildew, and is antimicrobial. The air quality in your home will benefit tremendously because cork flooring doesn’t shed any microfibers like other floor covers which also provide the same amount of warmth on your feet.

Cork has a considerably less environmental impact on the ecosystem. The manufacturing process for cork generates almost no waste and the leftover materials are constantly being reused and bound together. Cork Oak Trees do not need to be cut down to harvest the bark which is used for producing cork floors.

Choosing the right polish that Will Look Amazing on Your Floor

/在： /通过：

Choosing the right polish is crucial as it will not only determine how much maintenance your floors will need, but can also drastically change the look of them. From the traditional to the uber modern, here are five excellent choices to consider.Whether you are planning to install flooring for the first time or just looking to refinish existing floors, there are some different hardwood finishes to consider.
Hardwood Finish #1: Wax

Wax is essentially the granddaddy of all hardwood finishes as it is the coating that has been used the longest. While it is not as durable as modern poly finishes, it gives your floors a muted, organic feel as opposed to the high-gloss of most modern finishes. Since wax can be reapplied in small areas, it is the most low-maintenance type of finish over the short haul. But, it is more high-maintenance in the long run as it will need to be refinished more often.
Note: If you decide to switch from a wax finish to a polyurethane finish, the wax will need to be entirely removed before the poly finish can be applied.

Hardwood Finish #2: Acid-Cured (Swedish)

Often considered the Lamborghini of floor finishes, acid cured finishes are a professional-only floor polish. While they are supposed to be one of the hardiest floor finishes, they are also the most expensive, running between $3.75 to $5 per square foot. While they tend to dry quickly (in around 2 hours), they can take up to 60 days to fully cure. After about three days it is safe to walk on but can take up to two weeks to cure enough to lay furniture on and up to 60 days to put rugs back down so carpet fibers don’t become stuck in the finish.

 

Hardwood Finish #3: Penetrating Oil Sealer

Oil sealers are another more traditional finish, like wax. Oil is easy to apply but is not as durable as a poly finish. It also has a mellower sheen than poly finishes,so it’s a good alternative for those that like the look of wax, but not the labor of applying it. Since the oil penetrates the wood, it can also deepen the color,giving your floor a rich, beautiful finish.
Hardwood Finish #4: Moisture-Cured Urethane

Moisture-cured urethane is considered one of the hardest finishes available, but also has one of the highest VOC’s. Because it dries so fast, it’s difficult to apply,so it’s not recommended for DIY’ers. Also, because of the high VOC’s – which means fumes can last for weeks – respirators and proper ventilation are must-haves during application; you will also need to plan on vacating your home for at least two weeks following application.

Hardwood Finish #5: Polyurethane

There are two types of polyurethane to choose from: water based and oil based. Water based poly is more expensive but dries much more quickly and is easy to apply.

Water based poly is also low odor and low VOC, while oil based poly has a strong smell and high VOC but also is far more durable. Water-based poly also has an excellent reputation for being far more eco-friendly than oil based and also dries clear, where oil-based poly dries with a slight amber tint. If you want a high-gloss, durable, long-lasting finish, then either oil or water-based poly is probably your best option.
