Frequently asked questions about the Cork floors category
What are cork floors?
Cork floors are multilayer boards made from natural cork, offering cushioning, thermal insulation and sound reduction. Our range includes KORKPARKETT panels in sizes 10x290x900 mm, 105x290x900 mm and 10.5/3x305x915 mm.
What sizes and thicknesses are available for cork parquet?
Available KORKPARKETT panels are 10x290x900 mm, 105x290x900 mm and 10.5/3x305x915 mm. The 10.5/3 mm designation denotes a three-layer construction common for cork parquet panels.
How do OPUS NATURA, MONO, ROMBO and P40 differ?
They differ by surface design and finish: OPUS NATURA comes in 10x290x900 and 105x290x900 mm (wear class 32), MONO and ROMBO are 10.5/3x305x915 mm with lacquer finish, and P40 is 10.5/3x305x915 mm with a distinct pattern and treatment.
Is cork parquet suitable for underfloor heating?
Cork parquet can be used with electric and water underfloor heating if manufacturer guidelines on maximum surface temperature and installation are followed. Check compatibility for the specific KORKPARKETT model and ensure even heat distribution.
How durable are cork floors and what wear class do they have?
KORKPARKETT panels are durable; OPUS NATURA is rated wear class 32, suitable for residential and moderate commercial use. Lacquered MONO/ROMBO/P40 finishes increase scratch and abrasion resistance.
How to maintain cork floors and what to wash them with?
Maintenance is simple: vacuum or sweep regularly and mop with warm water and a neutral pH cleaner. For lacquered MONO/ROMBO/P40 surfaces use cleaning products suitable for lacquered floors to preserve sheen and protection.
Can cork floors be used in kitchen and bathroom?
Cork flooring is suitable for kitchens with care to avoid prolonged water exposure; bathrooms usually require additional waterproofing or moisture-resistant solutions. Lacquered MONO/ROMBO/P40 increases moisture resistance but does not make the floor fully waterproof.
What decorative options and colours are offered in this category?
The range includes natural OPUS NATURA shades, light MONO CREME tones and geometric ROMBO patterns. All are offered as KORKPARKETT cork parquet panels with lacquered or factory finishes.
What is the cork layer thickness on the panels and how does it affect thermal and acoustic insulation?
KORKPARKETT panels feature a cork wear layer and cork core, providing natural thermal insulation and good impact sound reduction. Thicker cork layers increase underfoot comfort and insulation performance.
What installation methods are compatible with these cork panels?
KORKPARKETT panels are typically installed floating over a level dry subfloor or glued down per manufacturer instructions. The method depends on the substrate, room use and specific panel model.
