RE: [BlindHandyMan] Re: still staring at the floor
Hi Brice, Cork floor is made from high density cork. It's cut very thin, and comes in different size squares, just like vinyl flooring. It is usually about 1/8 th inch thick. I think one of the big selling points for it is how warm it is on the feet. Boop Never heard of a cork floor before. Was there some kind of a top layer like linoleum? Yahoo!

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Re: still staring at the floor
Q: How does the cork flooring hold up in high traffic areas? Our flooring is 55 years old, so the new flooring may not be the same, but ours has held up very well, even in the high traffic areas. You can see a difference in the flooring where it has been covered with carpet, but you'll have that with any kind of flooring. We are about to cover up the cork flooring and install new on top of it. After 55 years, I think it's time, huh? Q: Does it leave indentations when you move heavy furniture? There are some indentations where heavy furniture has been sitting in the same spot for years. I would be careful moving heavy furniture over it, but don't think you have to be more careful than with any other kind of flooring. Q: Any difficulty in cleaning it? What happens if you spilled water on it? This may have changed with the new cork flooring, but we had to get special cleaner for the floor. We also needed special wax for it. We have had trouble finding the cleaner lately, but I think that's because we live in a small town, and it seems cork flooring was sold much for quite awhile. Some cleaners will say on the bottle, not to use it on cork. I used Murphy's Oil Soap when I couldn't find the special cleaner. When we clean this, it's important not to soak the floor. I would clean a small area, then use a rag to dry the area, then move on to the next area. My washer valve stuck open one time and flooded part of the house, including some of the cork flooring areas. We had to replace a couple of the tiles, but most of it was fine. The damaged tiles were next to the wall, so water had gotten under the tile as well. The tiles curled when they dried. We had some left over tile, so replacing it wasn't that bad. Caring for cork flooring is a little different than other flooring, but it sure is warmer on the feet than other flooring. We didn't buy cork flooring to replace what we have, but that is because we got a good deal on some Pergo flooring. Hope this is helpful. Boop Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Yahoo!
