Green market: cork flooring by Wicanders is as natural as wood, comfortable as carpet, and durable as rubber

Article Abstract:

Cork flooring is enjoying renewed popularity as environmental awareness grows. Since cork is sourced from the outer bark of the cork oak tree, no trees are cut down to produce the material. Trunks also regenerate new bark every nine years, thus assuring supply. Wicanders uses cork for flooring products and offers it either as natural raw cork for custom staining and topcoating or as a prefinished waxed and varnished product.
