Floating cork floor with stone visuals for residential and commercial use
Wicander's Cork Stone Essence Collection is a traditional cork plank floor with unique urban visuals. These floating DIY floors are easy to install, eco-friendly, and rich in style, charm and sophistication. The Natural Power Coat finish—the latest innovation in varnished cork floors—are suitable for the most demanding residential and moderate commercial usage. Stone Essence cork floors are quiet, warm, and comfortable underfoot. They can be easily installed without glue by floating over most flat, stable subfloors made of concrete, plywood, or even over existing vinyl, linoleum or tile floors.
Cork is Nature's original green floor. It is completely renewable because it's made from the bark of the cork oak tree that is harvested every eight to ten years. Unlike hardwood, tile, carpet, or vinyl, cork flooring is mold and mildew-resistant, fire-resistant, dent-resistant, and hypoallergenic.
Because of its natural resilience, cork flooring will outperform and outlast most other types of flooring. That's why it has been used in many public buildings such as schools, hospitals, hotels, offices, and courtrooms, some of which have been in use for close to 100 years. That's sustainable!
Natural Cork is manufactured with no harmful adhesives such as formaldehyde or isocyanates, and contains no VOCs in its finish. Amorim Wicanders Cork Stone Essence Collection is GreenGuard Gold Certified to ensure that it does not contribute to harmful odors in your home or office.
Cork flooring is commonly used in children's rooms, family rooms, music rooms or kitchens because it provides a durable, quiet, and comfortable surface to work or plan on. The Stone Essence floating floors feature 2G CorkLoc glueless installation which allows for an easy DIY installation. For areas of higher moisture, we recommend the Amorim Waterproof cork.
Amorim Wicanders Cork Stone Essence Collection complies with ASTM standards for sound transmission with an IIC impact insulation class rating of 58 (ASTME492/ASTM E989) and an STC Classification for sound insulation of 54 (ASTM E90/ASTM E413). It reduces impact sound by 16 decibels (ISO 140-8). It provides a difference of loudness by 51.6% (EPH/IHD Works Standard 431) when compared to laminate flooring.
It also meets ASTM D2859 for fire resistance, ISO 26987a standards for stain resistance with a grade of 5, the thermal resistance of R = .15, EN12667, and much more. See the technical data sheet for more information.
