Salami Cork Glue-Down Flooring
Natural Portuguese cork glue-down tile, 8mm (5/16 in) thick.
Salami earned its name honestly. The pattern mixes fine cork granules with larger flecks, the way a cross-section of cured salami mixes lean and marbling, and that visual has made it one of the most popular cork looks in every format it comes in. This tile takes that pattern to a full 8mm (5/16 in) thickness: 100% cork, with no fibreboard core and no vinyl layer.
This 8mm glue-down cork tile provides cushioning and thermal insulation. Compare the tile’s construction, finish and installation requirements.
Because it glues down as a 610mm x 305mm (24 in x 12 in) tile, the floor sits tight to the subfloor with a square-edge, no-bevel fit. It is rated Commercial class 31 and Domestic class 23, so it is at home anywhere from a busy family kitchen to a light commercial space, and it can go on floors, walls, or even ceilings.
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.

Important product note
The Salami pattern is so popular that it is produced in every available format: a 12mm floating floor, a 6mm glue-down tile, and this 8mm glue-down tile. If you prefer a click-together install or a lower price point, the other formats deliver the same signature look. Also note that two coats of polyurethane are required after any glue-down installation is complete.
