Questions
What substrates are suitable for cork tile installation?
Cork tiles require smooth, clean surfaces free of wax or old adhesives. Acceptable substrates include concrete, plywood, and existing ceramic tile. Proper preparation ensures optimal adhesion and longevity.
Can cork flooring withstand moisture exposure?
While cork has natural moisture resistance, we recommend against installation in high-moisture areas like bathrooms. Proper sealing and maintenance help prevent water damage in typical residential environments.
How do I maintain cork flooring?
Regular sweeping and damp mopping with pH-neutral cleaners preserve finish quality. Refinish every 2-3 years for residential use, more frequently in commercial settings. Avoid abrasive or oil-based cleaning products.
Are custom color options available?
Yes, we offer custom color matching services for large orders. Minimum quantities apply for custom production runs. Contact our sales team for specific requirements and pricing details.
What thickness options exist for cork tiles?
Our standard tiles measure 3/16" (4mm) thick. This dimension balances durability with ease of installation while maintaining optimal thermal and acoustic properties.
Can I install cork flooring myself?
Yes, pre-glued tiles simplify DIY installation. Basic tools and our detailed instructions enable successful projects. Allow proper acclimation time and follow substrate preparation guidelines for best results.
