The Cork Evolution: A Sustainable Alternative to Engineered Timber Flooring

One of the most compelling reasons to choose engineered cork over engineered timber flooring is sustainability. Cork floating floors are 95% more sustainable than their engineered oak counterparts. 

In the realm of engineered flooring options, cork floating floors are experiencing a remarkable evolution, positioning themselves as a sustainable and stylish alternative to engineered timber flooring. While offering comparable durability and aesthetic appeal, cork floating floors boast a sustainability profile that is significantly superior to that of engineered oak. This resurgence is transforming how architects and designers in Melbourne and beyond approach eco-friendly flooring in Australia.

Cork floating floors come in a variety of finishes, from classic natural textures to contemporary geometric patterns and vintage styles. This versatility allows designers to achieve the desired aesthetic while maintaining a commitment to sustainability. The production of cork floating floors has a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to engineered timber flooring. Cork harvesting and processing require less energy and generate fewer emissions. Additionally, cork oak forests play a crucial role in carbon sequestration, further enhancing the material’s environmental benefits.

Unlike engineered timber flooring, cork is naturally resilient and has a unique cushioned feel underfoot, which can reduce fatigue and the risk of injury from falls. Cork’s hypoallergenic properties and resistance to mould and mildew also make it a healthier choice for indoor environments.
