One of the most important rooms in the home is the kitchen. It is important for many people that they get the correct floor covering.
In the past few years, cork has become a popular alternative as a floor covering, particularly in the kitchen and lounge areas.
As with all floor purchases, it is important to know the pros and cons behind the particular materials; so with this in mind, we've produced a guide displaying the positives to installing a cork floor in your kitchen:
The pros; because its surface is resistance to both bacteria and mold, cork is perfect for an area where food is going to be prepared on a consistent basis.
With a surface that is also strong, cork doesn't scratch as easily – giving it the more protection compared to other surfaces from the cutlery and other kitchen objects that will regularly fall from worktops.
Strength also makes cork a great choice if you have a pet, as their sharp claws are unlikely to cause as much damage as they would to other flooring types.
