Hazel

Hazel Cork Glue-Down Flooring

Swiss-made 6 mm cork tile with the warm, nut-brown character its name promises: quiet, resilient, and rated for commercial traffic.

Hazel is a traditional glue-down cork tile in a 600 x 300 mm (23 5/8 x 11 13/16 in) format, milled to 6 mm (1/4 in) thick. A natural cork veneer of 0.7 mm to 0.8 mm sits over a solid cork body, so the warm hazel tones you see are real cork grain, not a printed image. A HotCoating wear layer with a high resistance matte finish keeps the surface looking natural while standing up to daily use.

This 6 mm cork tile is glued directly to the subfloor. Cork provides cushioning and thermal insulation; follow the tile’s adhesive and finishing requirements.

Published Hazel data lists 18 dB impact-sound reduction and thermal resistance of 0.080 m² K/W. Performance depends on the complete floor installation; review the applicable test report.

With a domestic class 23 and commercial class 32 rating, Hazel is at home in living rooms, kitchens, offices, and retail spaces alike. Square edges and a straight cut give a continuous, square-edged surface once the tiles are laid, and the format works on walls as well as floors.

Important product note

As this is a glue-down product, polyurethane is required after installation: plan for two coats of Loba 2K polyurethane over the finished floor, along with Wakol D3540 cork adhesive for the install itself. Allow the recommended 5% overage when ordering.
