Natural Cork Interlocking Floors vs Wicanders Essence Cork Flooring

Buy the Wicanders Essence if you want a proven brand with a defined commercial wear rating and a clear warranty split. Buy the Natural Cork Interlocking if you want a thicker panel with a built-in antimicrobial underlay and a limited lifetime residential warranty. Both are floating cork floors that click together without glue and suit underfloor heating. Owners of cork floors in general praise the warmth and quiet underfoot but warn that cork dents under heavy point loads and needs protection from standing water.

• Choose the Natural Cork Interlocking if you want a thicker 0.41 in panel with a pre-attached antimicrobial underlay and a limited lifetime warranty.
• Choose the Wicanders Essence if you want a Class 33 commercial rating, a named XtraMatt+ abrasion finish and GreenGuard Gold certification.
