Jessica DeHollander –
The cork looks great. Remove all ‘buttons’ from bottoms of furniture and replace with Felt Pads & Surface Protectors, protect floor from larger pieces like a bed, piano, with cutout pads of leftover cork tiles or all these will leave marks in the flooring as it is soft.

We used Forna 8mm Silver Birch cork tiles in my Boathouse. It looks great. I have sent some photos to Cancork.
