Overview
Unique patterning and colouring sets this floor apart. One of our only floors set to mimic sand instead of wood. Light, rippled patterning of amber, honey and butter set to mimic sand dunes at dusk. Beautiful subtle movement is the hallmark of this pattern. Long delicate strands of multi-coloured cork wind its way through the pattern of this floor. Each plank is unique. Each subtle yet strong in character. Once assembled this floor offers a smooth, continuous, sinuous pattern. There are no “chunks” of cork. We have left that type of patterning to Salami or Autumn Leaves.
Forna has brought out 10mm thick floating floors to help homeowners achieve a cork floor installed over in-floor radiant heat. Our thicker, more luxurious planks make in-floor heating systems unreliable as a form of “whole home” heat. Because of this drawback, we have asked our manufacturer to come up with a thinner plank to accommodate the heat transfer from the radiant heat systems. They have come up with the 10mm plank.

We definitely do this again and may do cork floor throughout the remaining bedrooms when we had enough of money. Do use cork underlay! We didn’t at first and should have right away. We found no need for the additional poly coats in the bedrooms, but you will need apply the poly in the kitchen and hallway.

I have an uneven concrete floor. I had problems getting the concrete floor absolutely level. Once that was okay, the installation was easy. We love our new natural cork floor with comfort of a cushioned surface.

A perfect product for basement. My basement is 750 SF. I installed it about 8 months ago by myself. Nice and warm under foot in the basement. Floating floor is over a vapor barrier. We have two dogs play hard over the surface and we can’t tell any marks now. Would definitely do this again and may do cork throughout the remaining bedrooms when we had enough of money. Do use footpads! The additional poly coats help.

Installed this cork floor four years ago in our kitchen. This year bought more to replace our basement carpet. VERY happy with the quality and price of this cork flooring. The mildew and musty carpet smells gone after installed this cork floor. We added 2 coats of polyurethane to make it more durable and waterproof because we own a large bulldog. Floors are as nice as they were when first installed. Installation is very easy. Highly recommend!
