Tasmanian Burl Cork Glue-Down Flooring
Warm autumn browns cut with dramatic black tiger stripes: a 6 mm tile of 100% cork with the character of exotic teak.
Tasmanian Burl takes its name from the burl of the Tasmanian Oak tree, and the pattern lives up to it. Warm mid-tone browns dominate, streaked with bold black tiger striping and lifted by gold and rust flecks. The result is a vibrant mix of mid-tones, highlights, and low lights that many customers describe simply as teak colouring.
Each tile is 6 mm (1/4 in) thick and 100% cork. The square-edge, straight-cut 610 mm x 305 mm (24 in x 12 in) format glues down flat and tight, giving you a low, seamless floor with no bevels to collect dirt.
Because these are water-resistant glue-down tiles, they are among the best options for bathroom flooring. They are also warm and quiet underfoot: cork keeps heat in the room in winter, keeps unwanted heat out in summer, and cuts the noise that would otherwise travel through the floor or ceiling. The resilient, low-slip surface is forgiving on joints, which makes it an excellent choice for seniors and children.
Rated Commercial class 31 and finished in a high resistance Natural Shield water-based polyurethane finish, Tasmanian Burl is built for busy homes and light commercial spaces alike, and it is compatible with hydronic and underfloor radiant heating.
This tile cannot be sanded or refinished. If the surface needs renewing, the factory finish can be lightly abraded and recoated with water-based polyurethane. Solara is the only solid cork floor tile we offer.

Supplies & Guides
Rolf L. (verified owner) –
Bought these for the mud room because it takes the traffic. Rolled it properly and there’s no lifting at the edges. Six months in and it looks like week one.
Dana N. (verified owner) –
Went down over 5/8 ply in the studio and it has held. Sits flat, no lippage between tiles. The adhesive was backordered a week and we waited on it. Floor is holding up, logistics were the weak part.
Yvette K. (verified owner) –
Laid 180 sq ft of this in the garden room over screwed-down ply. The Tasmanian Burl is neutral, not plasticky in daylight. Cleans with a damp mop, no fuss.
