red hr line

Before paying a lot of money to renovate your kitchen floor, you must consider all available options. Understand your kitchen flooring needs so that you choose the best available option. The price tag is not all there is to consider when it comes to choosing the best floor for your kitchen.

Cork flooring is made from the bark of a Cork Oak tree. The cork is retrieved from the bark of the tree without having to chop it down. The cork is a charming natural shade that makes kitchen floors look exquisite. Many homeowners love cork flooring for the simple fact that is environmentally friendly. Even after harvesting the bark from the oak tree, the tree lives for over 200 years.

Cork flooring can come in different colors to suit the diverse tastes of homeowners. Cock floors have air pockets that make it a great shock absorber. That is the attractive quality that makes it highly resilient and durable. Most modern kitchens in Calgary have cork flooring. At our flooring store in Calgary, you will find the best cock flooring to suit your home.
