Leather Cork Flooring

The classic patch-work "Leather" block pattern, presented in a luxury 12 mm (1/2 in) floating plank with an attached cork underlay.

Leather is one of the world's most recognizable cork patterns. Its block layout takes its name from the patch-work leather designs made famous in the 60s, 70s and 80s, and this traditional colour and pattern have been one of this year's best sellers in plank form.

The 12 mm presentation elevates the pattern. The finish is smoother than the 11 mm plank it improves on, and the clean block presentation sharpens the overall look of the Leather pattern. Each 900 mm x 300 mm (35 7/16 in x 11 13/16 in) plank is built as a sandwich: a 3 mm natural cork top layer over a 6 mm E1 class high density fibreboard core, with a 3 mm cork underlay already attached underneath.

That double layer of cork is what you feel and hear. The floor is warm and comfortable underfoot, cuts impact noise by 19 dB, and helps keep unwanted heat out in summer and in the room in winter, which can save on heating and cooling bills. The resilient, low-slip surface makes it an excellent choice for seniors, children, or anyone dealing with arthritis or joint pain.

Planks click together with the Uniclic profile and float over the subfloor, so the floor is approved for above grade, on grade and below grade rooms, and it works over hydronic and underfloor radiant heating.

Important product note

Because of the success of this 12 mm plank, the Leather pattern is also produced as 6 mm and 8 mm glue-down cork tiles to complement the luxury look. The thickness of the 8 mm Leather glue-down tile preserves the beauty of the pattern, making it a great complement to the floating floor.
