Check Out Cork Flooring

Cork isn't just for wine bottles anymore. This green material is, well popping up all over the place, from wall coverings that are durable and soundproof to stylish flooring that's easy on your feet. Plus, cork is naturally antimicrobial and insect-repellent, and it does not absorb dust. Harvested from the bark of the cork oak, the material is so eco-friendly and renewable. So, save a tree and look to cork the next time you're considering what to do with the outdated parquet kitchen floor. If you like more info check out http://www.corkflooring.biz .
