Silver Birch Cork Flooring
The classic ribbon pattern in a 12 mm (1/2 in) floating plank, with a 3 mm cork underlay already built in.
Silver Birch carries one of the most recognizable patterns in cork: a narrow ribbon stripe threaded with natural cork golds. It reads like the narrow strip oak, maple, or cherry floors of a 1920s home, the kind many of us grew up on, but with the warmth and quiet that only cork delivers.
At 12 mm (1/2 in) thick, this is the heavyweight of the line. The plank stacks a 3 mm natural cork top layer over a 6 mm E1 class high density fibreboard core, with a 3 mm cork underlay permanently attached underneath. That built-in bottom layer means most homes need no additional insulation or underlay before installation.
Planks use the Uniclic profile for floating installation without glue or nails. Rated for above-, on- and below-grade use, subject to the product’s moisture and installation requirements.
The surface is sealed with a high resistance Natural Shield water-based polyurethane wear layer, backed by a 10-year residential wear warranty, a joint integrity warranty, and a lifetime structural warranty.

Important product note
Silver Birch is also available as a 6 mm and an 8 mm cork glue-down tile. Together with this 12 mm floating plank, the Silver Birch lineup offers the same ribbon pattern in every possible format, so you can match rooms that need a floating floor with rooms that suit a glue-down installation.

You will love this floor, trust me! I debated on laminate floor and the cork floating floor, and everybody has laminate, but I went with the cork which I loved the pattern and I wanted to go green with cork. After I put down the cork floor, the compliments just keep coming, everyone that sees it, even men, are impressed with our new cork floor and they ask, “This is cork?!”. I really hope this review helps Cancork out.

Great looking cork flooring, cuts easily, wonderful fit & finish. Installed in family home, home office and 2 bedrooms, replacing all carpet. We love it!
John Babbini –
It was easy to install and quite warm due to its thickness. The overall look is beautiful, and the joints of planks are hard to see.

A perfect floor for kitchen. I installed this cork floor about 6 months ago by myself. I made two unsightly marks on the cork floor when I pull my refrigerator to clean. The marks disappeared after a apply two coats of polyurethane. One of the best things to protect cork when you need to move heavy things is Appliance rails. You can buy them at Home Depot.
