Is this flooring good for a bathroom or kitchen?

No. Cork is sensitive to standing water and spills, so it suits dry rooms like bedrooms, living rooms and offices. Use tile or vinyl in bathrooms and laundry rooms.

Do I need a separate underlay?

No. A 3 mm cork underlay is already attached to the bottom of each plank. That layer provides the 19 dB impact noise reduction.

How much extra flooring should I order?

Plan for about 10% overage. That covers cuts at walls, doorways and mistakes, and leaves a few spare planks for future repairs.

Can it be installed over concrete?

Yes, as a floating floor, provided the concrete is dry, flat and clean. Check moisture levels first, since cork and the fiberboard core can swell with damp.

How does cork compare with laminate?

Cork is quieter and softer underfoot and comes with its own underlay. Laminate is harder and more scratch- and water-resistant. Choose cork for comfort and quiet, laminate for heavy traffic and wet-risk rooms.

What are the plank dimensions?

Each plank is 900 mm by 300 mm and 12 mm thick, about 35-7/16 in. by 11-13/16 in. by 1/2 in. The planks have square edges with no bevel.

Our take on the Timber Birch Cork Flooring 1/2 in. Floating Click-Lock Planks

These are 1/2 in. floating click-lock floor planks with a 3 mm stained cork top layer, a 6 mm high-density fiberboard core and a 3 mm cork underlay bonded to the bottom. The attached cork backing gives 19 dB of impact noise reduction, so no separate underlay is needed. Square edges and no bevel give a flat, seamless look rather than a plank-by-plank groove. They suit homeowners and light commercial spaces that want a warm, quiet cork surface and a glue-free install. Against laminate and vinyl rivals, cork is softer and quieter underfoot but less resistant to standing water and heavy point loads.
