White Bamboo Cork Glue-Down Flooring

A crisp, painted-wood white in solid cork: the original white glue-down tile, popular since 2015.

White Bamboo was the first white cork tile in this collection, and it has stayed a favourite through years of white flooring, white wall decor, and beach house design. The stained surface gives you the look of freshly painted wood while keeping the warmth and texture that only cork delivers.

Each tile is solid cork from top to bottom: a 6 mm (1/4 in) cork wear surface over a cork core and cork backing, sealed with a high resistance super-matte wax finish. The square, straight-cut edges lay up into a clean, continuous surface with no bevels to catch dirt.

Cork provides cushioning and thermal insulation. Compare the acoustic test report for the complete floor assembly, and follow the product’s installation and care requirements.

Because this is a glue-down product, installation uses Wakol D3540 cork adhesive, and two site-applied coats of Loba 2K polyurethane are required after the tiles are down. The result is a bonded, sealed floor rated for both residential and light commercial spaces, and the same tile can be glued to walls for a matching white cork accent.

Why this floor

• Impact sound reduction of 18 dB: cork keeps noise from transmitting down through the floor or up through the ceiling below.
• Rated commercial class 32 and domestic class 23, backed by a 10-year residential wear warranty, a joint integrity warranty, and a lifetime structural warranty.
• Water-resistant, stain-resistant surface under a high resistance super-matte wax finish that shrugs off scuffs and cleans easily.
• Compatible with hydronic and underfloor radiant heating systems.
• Review the selected product’s emissions documentation and cleaning requirements.
• No VOC emissions and made with formaldehyde-free adhesives, from a completely natural, recurring, replenishable material.
• Approved for both floor and wall installation, so you can carry the white bamboo look up the wall.

Important product note

White Bamboo 6 mm glue-down tiles are part of a larger white cork collection. If you prefer a floating floor, there is a matching 12 mm White Bamboo floating version, and if you want a softer white, Bleached Birch is available in both a 12 mm floating floor and 6 mm glue-down tiles. Choose the glue-down tile when you want the thinnest profile and a fully bonded installation, and the floating format when you want the same look with a click-together install.
