Embracing Natural Comfort: Exploring the Advantages of Cork Flooring
Cork, harvested from the bark of cork oak trees in the Mediterranean, offers unique benefits rooted in sustainability and natural resilience. Each cork oak, with a lifespan averaging 200 years, regenerates its bark after harvesting, ensuring no trees are felled or permanently harmed. Moreover, a peeled cork tree binds more CO2 than an unpeeled one, contributing to environmental balance.
EGGER Comfort Flooring harnesses cork's exceptional qualities alongside laminate technology, featuring dual cork layers sourced from sustainable forestry. This innovative design provides warmth and unmatched comfort while walking.
The cork comfort layer not only offers thermal insulation but also serves as a remarkable sound absorber. With its honeycomb-like structure filled with countless air cells, cork naturally dampens room noise, reducing it by up to 43% compared to laminate. Additionally, an integrated cork mat beneath the flooring further minimizes impact sound transmission, ensuring quieter adjacent spaces.
Walking on Comfort Flooring reveals its superior comfort. The elasticity of cork cells provides cushioning that supports spinal health and joint comfort. Unlike overly firm or soft floors, Comfort Flooring strikes a balance, offering relief without causing fatigue.
Durability is another hallmark of EGGER Comfort Flooring. Its eco-friendly, UV-protected wear layer resists stains, fading, and is easy to clean. With a use class of 31 or 32, it extends its suitability beyond homes to spaces like therapeutic practices or hotel rooms. Moreover, its natural warmth makes it compatible with underfloor heating systems, enhancing its cozy appeal.
Installation is a breeze with the flexible CLICit! system, eliminating the need for additional base mats thanks to the integrated cork impact sound insulation. Explore a range of formats – Classic, Large, and Kingsize – along with a variety of design options achieved through modern digital printing technology.
