Natural by design
A different way to make a floor.
Some of the most common flooring choices begin with plastic. Cork begins with living bark. Harvested without felling the tree, it renews naturally and becomes a floor or wall made for modern life.
The HDF used in the manufacture of floating flooring products is also FSC® certified.

The material
Cork. A More Natural Choice
What is it?
Cork flooring and wall tiles are made from the outer bark of the cork oak tree. The tree itself is never cut down during harvesting. The bark is carefully removed once the tree has matured, and will naturally regenerate before it is harvested again. The same tree can continue producing cork for generations without being felled. This makes cork one of the world's most renewable natural materials. For centuries, cork oak forests have supported wildlife, protected biodiversity and helped prevent desertification, while continuing to provide this remarkable natural resource.
What makes it so unique?
The secret lies within cork's natural structure. Each cubic centimetre contains millions of tiny air-filled cells arranged in a honeycomb pattern. These microscopic cells give cork many of the characteristics that make it such an exceptional material. This unique cellular structure naturally provides more comfort underfoot, excellent thermal insulation, and quieter spaces. It provides a natural resilience allowing the material to compress and recover its original shape. It has lightweight strength combined with impressive durability.
Where can cork flooring be used?
Modern cork flooring is suitable for many areas of the home. It is well suited to hallways, kitchens, dining rooms, open-plan living areas, home offices and playrooms, where its combination of comfort, durability, easy maintenance and acoustic performance can be especially beneficial. It can also be an excellent choice for living rooms and bedrooms for those who prefer a hard flooring surface instead of carpet.
Why choose cork?
Cork combines the beauty of a natural material with qualities that make everyday life more comfortable. It's surface helps absorb the impact of everyday footsteps, making it more comfortable to stand and walk on than many harder flooring materials. The natural insulation properties also makes it more comfortable to walk on, no more cold feet! It creates quieter indoor spaces by absorbing sound where everyday footstep noise and sound transmission between rooms and floors is reduced. It is also straightforward to care for and maintain.
Sustainability
From the cork forests of Portugal.
Portugal's cork oak landscape is open woodland worked by hand for generations rather than farmed like a plantation. It is where every floor begins: harvested from living bark, never a felled tree.
Grown
Cork oaks grow wide apart across roughly 730,000 hectares of southern Portugal.
Harvested by hand
Skilled harvesters strip the outer bark while the tree stays standing.
Renewed
The bark slowly regenerates before the next harvest, around nine years later.
Made in Portugal
Granorte transforms the harvested cork into finished floors and wall surfaces.
