Cork flooring is an elegant, natural and renewable product!
Cork is one of the most renewable resources on the planet. It is manufactured from the bark of the cork oak (Quercus Suber) which is an evergreen that grows in the Mediterranean region of Southern Europe and Northern Africa.
Cork Oak trees are grown specifically for the harvesting of their bark, which is done in the summer when it becomes loose against the trunk of the trees. The harvesting of the bark is a process that does NO HARM to the trees. Rather the bark naturally grows back every 9-10 years, allowing a single crop of Cork Oaks to continue producing for decades.
