How to Order Cork Flooring Samples

Order samples before choosing full boxes so color, texture, thickness, finish, and room lighting are confirmed in the actual space.

Start here

Use this page when

  • You are comparing cork colors, textures, finishes, or installation types.
  • You need to see flooring under the room lighting before ordering cartons.
  • You want to confirm thickness, underfoot feel, and transition height.

Before you start

  • List the rooms, approximate square footage, and whether each room is dry, wet-risk, kitchen, basement, wall, or stair related.
  • Compare floating and glue-down samples separately because they install differently.
  • Keep sample names and SKUs with your notes so the final order matches what you tested.

Installation workflow

  1. Open the flooring category and shortlist products by color, thickness, material family, and installation type.
  2. Add the best samples to cart and include alternatives if room lighting is uncertain.
  3. Review the matching installation guide before ordering full boxes, adhesive, finish, or underlayment.
  4. Contact the team with the sample names if you need help matching products to a room.

Important mistakes to avoid

  • Do not choose flooring from screen color alone.
  • Do not assume products with similar names share the same thickness, surface, or installation method.

After installation

  • Place samples in the room at different times of day.
  • Compare samples next to cabinets, trim, furniture, wall color, and existing transitions.
  • Use the matching guide center path before buying supplies.
