I am looking for a kitchen floor. I do not want ceramic tile and I am leery of hardwood. I was looking at cork flooring and wanted to know if anyone has it in their kitchens and if they like it or not. Is it hard to keep clean?

Cork is a great flooring material if you are looking for resliience and soundproofing. However, it is not a great material for the kitchen.
Have your considered rubber flooring? This is making a great comeback after years of absence. Rubber flooring has many of the same qualities as cork. Rubber flooring is scuffproof, great underfoot if you stand working long periods in the kitchen, easy to maintain, soundproof and can last up to 50 years.
It now comes in great patterns such as marble and granite. The only caveat is to be sure you have a good clean subfloor in order to create a good bond with the tile's backing.

I'm not sure I'd use cork in a kitchen. Wood laminates are a good choice. They give you the look of wood without the cleaning and maintainence issues for a lot less money.

Yeah. the backside a million/2 of the cork extremely exploded. i became choosing products of it out of each and every glass that I poured from that bottle. It only is going to instruct you that no longer all and sundry is huge at soaking corks. some people only might desire to stick around the production facility at night to get extra prepare.
