Golden Beach 6mm Glue Down Tile – It’s a traditional flooring that brings back memories of those lovely summer days on the beach in the Golden Hour. Decorate your space in an elegant and pleasant manner.
Golden Beach Cork Glue-Down Flooring
The classic Mid-Century Modern cork pattern, in a 6mm (1/4") glue-down tile made of 100% cork.
If you have ever admired the floors in a Mid-Century Modern home, chances are you were looking at this pattern. Golden Beach is the natural cork look most often found in MCM interiors, which makes it the go-to choice for renovating a period home or bringing a touch of modernism into a new one.
Each 610mm x 305mm (24" x 12") tile is 100% cork, made in Portugal, with a cork veneer on top. Because of the veneer, this tile cannot be sanded or refinished. If the surface needs renewing, the factory finish can be lightly abraded and recoated with water-based polyurethane.
Underfoot, the tile is warm, resilient, and quiet. Cork keeps noise from travelling down through the floor or up through the ceiling, holds heat in the room in winter and keeps it out in summer, and gives a low-slip, forgiving surface that is comfortable underfoot: a genuine comfort upgrade for seniors and children.
Why this floor
- 100% cork, 6mm (1/4") thick, with a cork veneer on top.
- 18 dB impact sound reduction: noise stops at the floor instead of transmitting to the room below.
- Rated Commercial class 31 and Domestic class 23, suitable for residential and light commercial spaces.
- Low VOC emissions and made with formaldehyde-free adhesives; the surface is easy to sweep clean of dust, hair, and other small particles, an alternative to carpet.
- Cork contains suberin, a natural waxy substance.
- Water-resistant, stain-resistant surface with a high resistance Natural Shield water-based polyurethane finish that resists scuffs and is easy to clean.
- Compatible with hydronic and underfloor heating, and cork's natural insulation helps trim heating and cooling bills.

Supplies & Guides
Michael D. (verified owner) –
Laid 240 sq ft of this in the cabin over screwed-down ply. 240 sq ft went down with almost no waste. Holds up to work boots better than the vinyl it replaced.
Lillian D. (verified owner) –
Went down over 5/8 ply in the cabin and it has held. Rolled it properly and there’s no lifting at the edges. Two boxes came with crushed corners, tiles inside were fine.
Micah N. (verified owner) –
Did the cabin with these tiles, 380 sq ft, one afternoon with a roller. Rolled it properly and there’s no lifting at the edges. Six months in and it looks like week one.
