ᐅ Printed Cork Flooring – Disadvantages?

Created on: 15 Sep 2014 22:10

Hello,

we would like to install cork flooring or cork parquet in the children’s rooms. Nowadays, there are various designs available since cork can be printed on. However, I’m wondering if the property of the floor feeling warm underfoot is still maintained, or if the top layer makes the floor feel cooler.

Can anyone help me with this? I have already used the search function but didn’t find any useful information.

Best regards

An alternative is, for example, nice hardwood flooring. If it isn’t a soft wood like beech, dents are less common. And if it eventually looks worn, you can simply sand it down and it will look like new again.

We had hardwood flooring in the hallway, but I didn't find it warm underfoot at all.

Hello, I’m bringing this topic back up since we are currently considering cork flooring for the children’s room. Has anyone installed cork flooring and can share a brief experience? We came across the company Egger (yes, they are also sold in hardware stores), and the price/performance ratio seems reasonable. Additionally, the key features sound good (Blue Angel certification, eco-friendly, etc.).

Thanks and best regards
