Overview
Autumn Ripple 8mm Glue Down tile was Forna’s first foray into the luxury 8mm cork tile world. This mid-tone colour with low-key patterning has been a favourite since it’s inception. The thickness of the tile and the quality of the finish is a rarity in today’s world of thin, cheap, cork glue down cork tiles. The availability of “off the shelf” 8mm cork tiles is extremely limited. Because of our initial success with this thickness, we have expanded our 8mm cork tile line-up to include 10 more products.
With the 8mm tile success, Forna continues to break new ground by offering thick, affordable, attractive Pret-a-Porter cork tiles. When working with Forna cork tiles, you no longer have to wait the 8-12 week lead time for these luxury thicknesses. We carry thousands of square feet in each and every colour. They are ready to ship once an order has been placed. We aim for “next business day” shipment – and if possible we will ship same business day.
In the Luxury Cork flooring market, this is a rarity. Rarer still is the availability of off-the-shelf 8mm thick tiles in a variety of colours and patterns. Autumn Ripple 8mm cork tiles started us on this journey. We continue to expand this line-up as more and more people experience the value a thick glue down cork tile can offer.

Larry Crecink –
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!
