Autumn Ripple Cork Glue-Down Flooring
A full 8 mm (5/16 in) of solid natural cork in a warm mid-tone ripple, stocked and ready to ship instead of an 8 to 12 week special order.
Autumn Ripple is a mid-tone cork tile with low-key patterning: a soft, rippled grain that adds warmth to a room without shouting for attention. It has been a favourite since it launched, and it was the tile that opened up the luxury 8 mm glue-down category here, a line that has since grown to more than ten colours and patterns.
Most glue-down cork tiles on the market today are thin. Autumn Ripple is not. Each 610 mm x 305 mm (24 in x 12 in) tile is 8 mm of natural Portuguese cork from top to bottom, sealed with a high resistance super-matte wax finish. That extra thickness is what you feel underfoot: a resilient, low-slip surface that is easy on knees, hips, and joints, which makes it a favourite for seniors, children, and anyone dealing with arthritis or joint pain.
Thick cork also works quietly in the background. It keeps impact noise from travelling down through the floor or up through the ceiling, holds heat in the room in winter, and keeps unwanted heat out in summer, which can trim your heating and cooling bills. And unlike carpet, it repels dust, hair, and small particles, so it is a practical choice for allergy-conscious households.
Off-the-shelf 8 mm cork tiles are extremely rare; they normally mean an 8 to 12 week lead time. This colour is kept in stock by the thousands of square feet, with orders aimed at next business day shipment (same day when possible).
Why this floor
- Thick 8 mm (5/16 in) solid natural cork tile: a luxury thickness that is rarely available off the shelf.
- Impact sound reduction of 24 dB (tested at 6 mm), so footfall stays out of the rooms below.
- Rated Commercial class 32 and Domestic class 23: tough enough for light commercial spaces, not just homes.
- Water-resistant, stain-resistant, and scuff-resistant surface with a high resistance super-matte wax finish that is easy to clean.
- No VOC emissions and made with formaldehyde-free adhesives, backed by published VOC and formaldehyde test reports.
- Naturally anti-microbial: resists insects, mould, and mildew, and its hypo-allergenic surface repels dust and hair (a healthier alternative to carpet).
- Compatible with hydronic and underfloor radiant heating, and covered by a 10-year residential wear warranty, joint integrity warranty, and lifetime structural warranty.
Important product note
Autumn Ripple was the first tile in the luxury 8 mm glue-down cork line, which has since expanded to include more than ten additional colours and patterns at the same thickness. If you like the 8 mm build but want a different look, the rest of the 8 mm glue-down collection uses the same construction.

It took me a lot of time to install my this glue down cork tile. You need let the glue dry on both the floor and the tiles and wait, the rubber mallet hammering and the rolling. It’s worth it. Do your homework before install cork tiles! The technical support line was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
