Using sustainable, quality products is a trend that is gaining real traction within the world of DIY and home improvement. It’s a market that has caught the attention of Wicanders with their environmentally friendly, natural cork floors.
Paul Heatley, Key Account Manager for Wicanders Cork Flooring says:
“One of Wicanders main focuses in 2008 is to encourage countries, companies and communities to ‘Kick the Habit’ and decarbonise their lifestyles. Not many people will think that buying the increasingly popular cork floor can help, but it can. Cork flooring is not produced - it is harvested without cutting down trees and we work with nature to manufacture stylish flooring in a range of hardwearing finishes.”
Wicanders offer cork flooring in floating or stick down options which are easy to install and maintain. You can even mix and match with your existing decor by choosing from a range of colours, designs and finishes that are suitable for hallways, kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms or living areas.
Here are some compelling reasons to consider cork flooring:

Choosing a strong and lasting floor surface can be a little tricky.
Laminate can scuff and dent, solid wood can stain and requires regular treatment - but what about timber effect porcelain tiles. Here are the plus points:
1. Easy to maintain
2. Easy to lay
3. Hardwearing
4. Reasonably priced at £54 per square metre
The only negative I can spot is that some types of timber effect porcelain tiles don’t necessarily look that realistic. However, most of the ranges I have seen, look pretty good in my view.
Personally, timber floors have no pier. Here are the reasons why:
• Tough and hard wearing.
• Can be stained to blend with decor.
• Timber floors offer rustic appeal that carpets, tiles and marble can’t. Flag stone flooring comes close.
• Timber flooring is easy to keep clean and maintain - unlike carpets.
• Timber flooring actually looks better with age - unlike carpets.
• Works well with under floor heating.
• Timber acts as a natural insulation.
• Timber is environmentally friendly - particularly if you buy from sustainable stocks.
