Overview
Our most popular product, Silver Birch, now available in the luxury floating 12mm thick floating plank. The extra thick 3mm cork bottom layer means this floor can be installed in most homes without the need for any other insulation. The popular ribbon pattern is one of the most successful patterns in the world of cork. Natural cork golds in the narrow stripe make this pattern look and feel like a narrow strip hardwood from the 20’s.
Many of us have grown up around these types of floors – whether it be narrow strip oak, maple or cherry. Most of us remember these homes with their charm and their comforts. The cork variation is the ribbon pattern. In Forna’s case we call this pattern Silver Birch. Together with a 6mm and 8mm cork glue down tile, the Silver Birch line up offers many options in every possible format.

You will love this floor, trust me! I debated on laminate floor and the cork floating floor, and everybody has laminate, but I went with the cork which I loved the pattern and I wanted to go green with cork. After I put down the cork floor, the compliments just keep coming, everyone that sees it, even men, are impressed with our new cork floor and they ask, “This is cork?!”. I really hope this review helps Cancork out.

Great looking cork flooring, cuts easily, wonderful fit & finish. Installed in family home, home office and 2 bedrooms, replacing all carpet. We love it!
John Babbini –
It was easy to install and quite warm due to its thickness. The overall look is beautiful, and the joints of planks are hard to see.

A perfect floor for kitchen. I installed this cork floor about 6 months ago by myself. I made two unsightly marks on the cork floor when I pull my refrigerator to clean. The marks disappeared after a apply two coats of polyurethane. One of the best things to protect cork when you need to move heavy things is Appliance rails. You can buy them at Home Depot.
