Quadro

Quadro Cork Flooring

A Swiss-made 11mm floating cork plank rated for heavy commercial traffic (Class 33), with 18 dB of impact sound reduction built into every board.

Quadro is built like a sandwich of purpose. A full 3mm layer of natural cork sits on top, a 6.8mm E1 grade moisture resistant HDF core gives the plank its rigidity and its Uniclic click lock, and a 1.2mm agglomerated cork backing quiets every footstep before it reaches the room below. The whole plank is sealed under a HotCoating wear layer with a high resistance Natural Shield water based polyurethane finish.

Cork's closed cell structure is filled with an air-like gas, which is what makes this floor behave so differently from hardwood or laminate. It insulates against heat loss (thermal resistance 0.108 m² K/W), stays comfortable in winter and cool in summer, and gives slightly underfoot while always springing back: residual indentation is capped at 0.15mm. Walking barefoot in January does not mean cold feet.

That combination of comfort and toughness is why Quadro carries both a domestic Class 23 and a commercial Class 33 rating with an AC5 abrasion result. It is at home in a busy family hallway, a basement rec room, or a light commercial space, and it can float over hydronic or underfloor radiant heating. Each 913mm x 305mm (35-15/16 in x 12 in) plank clicks together without glue, and a carton of 6 planks covers 1.67 m² (17.97 sq ft).

Why this floor

• Rated Commercial Class 33 and Domestic Class 23 (EN 16511) with AC5 abrasion resistance: heavy duty performance, backed by a 15 year residential and 5 year commercial warranty.
• 18 dB impact sound reduction (EN ISO 717-2) from the 3mm cork top layer plus the 1.2mm agglomerated cork backing: no separate underlay pad needed for quiet.
• 11mm three-layer construction: 3mm natural cork over a 6.8mm E1 grade moisture resistant HDF core with a 1.2mm cork underlayment, made in Switzerland.
• Uniclic click lock profile with a locking strength above 500 kg per linear metre: a fast, glue-free floating installation rated for above grade, on grade, and below grade.
• Naturally warm: thermal resistance of 0.108 m² K/W and cork's gas-filled cell structure keep the surface comfortable year round, and the floor is compatible with hydronic and underfloor radiant heat.
• Fire classified Cfl s1 (EN ISO 9239-1), R10 slip resistance, very good chemical resistance (EN 423), and suitable for type W castor chairs (EN 425).
