Cork flooring is one of the hottest new trends on the market. Learn how to install cork flooring with just a few, easy steps!
If you’re new to looking at flooring, you may not have even heard of cork flooring. It’s pretty crazy how many materials are used for flooring these days, but with cork it’s for good reason! Cork is very green and eco friendly, and also provides great insulation with easy installation, even in oddly shaped rooms and bathrooms.
One of my favorite things about cork? Most of the time, you don’t need any glue or tape for your installation! You can easily tap and lock the planks together, making it perfect for the avid DIYer and the budget conscious family. Here’s what you need to get started.
