An Alternative to Laminate Flooring: Click Cork

If you’re interested in the diy-ability, comfort and cleanliness of wood laminate, but don’t particularly care for its hard, cold, noisy-to-walk-on surface, you might want to consider click-together cork flooring. The video from iFloor is a nice primer for do-it-yourself installation, which is similar, if not identical, to traditional laminate flooring. Pre-finished cork tiles can start around $2.60 a square foot. To peruse various manufacturers, check out FloorMall.com and iFloor.com.

I've been wanting cork floors forever. My carpets are stained beyond repair. I love that they're soft, beautiful, a renewable resource and absorb sound. I worry about echoing because of my high ceilings. Of course, it's budget that holds me back. I wonder if I could order a few cases at a time until I had enough to do a room. Thanks for sharing.

I am inspired--this is gorgeous stuff. I have a hideous kitchen floor, and have not done anything about it because the vinyl flooring curves at the baseboard, which means I can't use anything rigid. But if the glue-down cork has any bend, I'm all over it.
