Benefits of Hardwood Flooring

Freedom of design. Hardwood flooring comes in a variety of colors, finishes, and modular sizes, meaning you can customize your flooring to meet your style preferences.
Easy repair and replacements. If one plank of wood is damaged beyond repair, it can often be removed and replaced without needed to repair the entire floor.
Environmentally safe. Since wood is a natural element, it does minimal environmental damage in manufacturing.

Benefits of Cork Flooring

Unique patterns and colors. You can choose from homogeneous or veneer options in design, giving you variety in design.
Natural and renewable. Cork is harvested from the bark of the tree without harming the health of the plant at all.
Fire and insect resistant. Cork is naturally fire resistant, and the waxy substance in the bark works as a built-in insect repellant, keeping your space pest-free.
Acoustic and thermal insulated. The air pockets in cork absorb sound, as well as serving as heat insulation for your floor.

Does wood and cork flooring need to be professionally installed?

Once you add up the cost of all the materials needed to install hardwood or cork, including the adhesive, underlayment, and prep materials, it is often more cost-effective to hire a professional.

How do I maintain wood or cork flooring?

Maintaining Hardwood Flooring

Wood floors should be swept daily to keep abrasive debris from building up on the surface and damaging the finish. Depending on the traffic on the floors, you should also consider mopping or vacuuming wood floors daily to weekly. When mopping, be careful of how much water you use, as more than a misting can damage the natural wood material.

With wood flooring, you should also consider periodic polishing and refinishing to keep your floor in top condition.

Maintaining Cork Flooring

Cleaning cork flooring is fairly simple with regular sweeping and vacuuming. Experts recommend damp mopping occasionally with cleaner labeled safe for use on pre-finished wood. You should also be careful of using too much water on cork floors, as the moisture can be problematic.

Since cork is a natural material, UV light can fade the color over time. Using drapes or blinds to block direct sunlight will maintain the vibrancy of your flooring.

Finally, periodically refinishing your cork flooring keeps it durable against scratches.
