Enviro-Cork, Cobblestone hot new pattern

Cobblestone, a new cork floor in a rectangular narrow block plank design.

The Enviro-cork line, like most corks floors is produced using the left over cork scraps from the wine bottle industry. Cork is a renewable resource as it is harvested from the bark of the cork oak tree. The tree grows new cork and is left unharmed providing the harvest was done correctly. In the past few years a fire destroyed many cork oak trees in Portugal so the material is not as abundant as it once was. 

The Enviro-cork line has a locking center fiberboard core. Cork floors are to a large extent a green flooring option. The exception to this is the fiber board core. Nothing green nor environmentally friendly about fiberboard cores regardless of how companies want to spin it. The core does make installation easy and possible for most diy'ers as it allows the product to click together and requires no adhesives to install. 

The fiberboard core has a cork underlay attached to the back of it as well. This means you need to purchase no additional underlay. This floor is starting in the low $3.00 per square foot range, you will find this is a remarkable rate if you shop around a bit.
