Cork has made a fashionable comeback and is every bit as innovative and edgy, as it is sustainable and comfortable. Cork will naturally insulate your home and provide a pre-finished solution that’s kind on your feet, health and the planet.

From tiles to underlay, this fantastic material has been ultra-modernised, with tiles now including metallic sheens, vibrant colours and a variety of shapes and sizes to suit.

Cork floor tiles are a natural product that provides warmth, comfort, durability and softness underfoot. Robust enough for both residential and commercial projects, our tiles are a natural product steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. The outer bark is stripped back from the cork tree and left to rest in the forest before being taken to the mill. After pressing and squaring, it rests for a further few months before being carved into tiles.

Although natural, earthy tones are still popular, our tiles have expanded to include metallics and customised colours (and sizes) to suit any project.

Cork Concepts have been manufacturing for 50 years and we have fine-tuned a pre-finished product to enable quick and easy installation.

Eco Benefits

By choosing cork you gain a healthy living environment, support sustainable livelihoods and promote the protection of endangered ecosystems.

Cork floor tiles are the ultimate in ‘upcycling’. Made from the cork that’s leftover from the more lucrative production of wine bottle corks, cork floor tiles are essentially a waste product made good. They’re also from a completely renewable resource. Like shearing a sheep, bark is stripped from the cork oak tree, leaving the tree standing.

Cork Concepts flooring is unique in providing a natural flooring product with low VOC’s. At Cork Concepts they use high-quality water-based polyurethane rather than solvent-based varnish. As well as being a designer product, cork is a first-rate natural insulation material with an ‘R Factor’ of 2.6. All of this combines to provide peace of mind to families who want a healthy home.

“Cork comes from ancient Mediterranean forests. It is a totally natural, renewable and recyclable product. Cork harvesting is one of the most environmentally friendly processes in the world. Cork forests support one of the highest levels of biodiversity on the planet, including the critically endangered Iberian Lynx, the Iberian Imperial Eagle, the Barbary Deer, many species of rare birds as well as many fungi, ferns and other plants. It also plays a key role in maintaining water-sheds, preventing erosion and keeping soils healthy."

“Cork harvesting is a great example of balanced conservation and economic development. The preservation of cork trees is vital for the well-being of the Mediterranean region. More than 100,000 people in the seven Mediterranean-region countries depend directly or indirectly on cork for their livelihoods."
