Jet Black

Jet Black Cork Glue-Down Flooring

The blackest black we have ever produced in cork: no blue, no green, no brown, just true black that refuses to fade.

For years, customers asked for a basic black cork floor. Jet Black is the answer: a true, saturated black with no undertones. It does not read blue, green, or brown under any light. It is simply black, finished in a high resistance Natural Shield water-based polyurethane finish that keeps the surface deep and even rather than glossy.

The depth of the stain is what makes this floor unusual. Heavily pigmented, Jet Black is about as close to fade resistant as natural cork gets. Tiles left outdoors through more than four months of summer sun showed no visible colour change: the stain is so complete that even if the cork beneath shifts tone, the surface stays fixed.

Each tile is 8 mm (5/16 in) thick and 100% cork, in a 610 mm x 305 mm (24 in x 12 in) format with square, straight-cut edges and no bevel. Glued down, the tiles form a quiet, seamless field of black that suits modern kitchens, offices, and light commercial spaces alike.

Cork provides cushioning and thermal insulation. Compare the acoustic test report for the complete floor assembly, and follow the product’s installation and care requirements.

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. Solara is the only solid cork floor tile we offer.
