Hard Surfaces / Cork
Cork Flooring:
- The cork oak tree's bark is used to make the cork and it is environmentally beneficial. Without harming or cutting the trees, its bark is simply stripped away thus it doesn't affect the tree in anyway. The bark that has been stripped is replaced by new bark and in about nine years is ready to be harvested again.
