I was just recently posting on our Stovers Facebook page & just so happen to link to our website: stoversliquidation.Upon doing so, I had a friend of mine who commented on my status. She had noticed that we had “Cork” flooring & was going to start researching for her kitchen.

First thing that I thought of is, “what the heck is Cork Flooring” & obviously it wasn’t something that come out of a wine bottle. So, having said that; I decided to find out for myself. After all-I am the “market” person & I guess if I am going to post Stovers products, then I better know what I am talking about! Right?

So here it goes:

Cork Flooring is a natural material which is made from the bark of the cork oak tree. The bark is pulled away from the tree without destroying it. This flooring naturally reduces sound, keeps the heat in your home, and absorbs shock. It’s beautiful, lightweight, warm to the touch, hypoallergenic, fire and insect-resistant, stable and renewable every 8-10 years. Not to mention that it is a nice substitute for hardwood flooring.

You would think that this stuff was new; however it’s been around for about a century. Flooring that is ideal for the elderly or maybe children. It’s fairly simple to take care of, when installed correctly. All that it requires is regular sweeping or vacuuming to remove small grit and dirt particles. Aside from this you just have to wipe up spills, and make sure that staining agents don’t rest on the surface.

Cork Flooring is not ideal for a family that has pets, because the nails can prick the floor & even tear it. You also wouldn’t want heavy items to sit on top of it simply because over time; it could possibly dent the floor.

So-now I feel much better about what I am posting, not to mention the education I received that has now turned into knowledge.
