Golden Beach 8mm 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 original cork colour in an 8 mm (5/16 in) glue-down tile made of 100% cork.
Golden Beach is cork the way people first fell in love with it: a warm, golden agglomerated grain that has stayed in style through the ages. Each 610 mm x 305 mm (24 in x 12 in) glue-down tile is 100% cork from Portugal, finished in a high resistance Natural Shield water-based polyurethane finish that keeps the look natural rather than glossy.
Golden Beach has a cork veneer on top, so it cannot be sanded or refinished. If the surface needs renewing, the factory finish can be lightly abraded and recoated with water-based polyurethane. Solara is the only solid cork floor tile we offer.
Day to day, it behaves like cork at its best: warm and comfortable underfoot, quiet, resilient, and low slip, which makes it a friendly surface for seniors and children. Rated for residential and light commercial spaces, it glues down on floors, walls, and even ceilings.
Why this floor
- 100% cork, 8 mm (5/16 in) thick, with a cork veneer on top.
- Rated Commercial class 31 and Domestic class 23, backed by a 10-year residential wear warranty, joint integrity warranty, and lifetime structural warranty.
- Water-resistant, stain resistant, and easy to clean; the surface resists scuffs and impacts.
- Low VOC emissions and made with formaldehyde-free adhesives; cork contains suberin, a natural waxy substance.
- Review the selected product’s emissions documentation and cleaning requirements.

RK Hawkins –
The nave of the Church of St Thomas the Apostle in Ottawa has a cork floor which was installed maybe 50 years ago. It is in the form of 5/16x9x9” stick down tiles on concrete. Some of these had perished with use, but surprisingly many still have a lot of use left in them. Cancork worked with me to assure a match with samples which arrived quickly and then shipped enough tiling to replace quite a few broken or heavily worn tiles. I had to cut them to size but this was a breeze on the table saw and I put down the new tiles with PL300. Everyone is impressed with the match and new tiles. Working with sales was very pleasant indeed and I highly recommend this product and this company.

Went down over 5/8 ply in the back entry and it has held. The Golden Beach is neutral, not plasticky in daylight. Six months in and it looks like week one.

Put this in a master bathroom. Installation was easy. I have plywood subfloor. I didn’t have any problems as I was careful not to use too much adhesive, just a VERY light coat on back of cork tile and the ground. The floor is now so warm, that it actually helps make the whole room warm.
