Natural cork floors and walls
Calm starts underfoot.
Cork floors and walls for boutique hotels, spas and studios. Warm to bare feet, quiet to walk on, and grown from the bark of living trees in Portugal.
Why cork
You feel it before you see it.
Step onto cork barefoot and it is warm, never cold. It gives a little underfoot, footsteps soften, and the whole room seems to settle. It is a small thing that changes how a space feels to be in, on the floor and on the walls.
Floors
Cork floors
From pale, softly flecked naturals to rich, earthy tones and gentle colour. Planks and tiles that feel warm and quiet underfoot, for guest suites, studios, treatment rooms and receptions.

Walls
Cork walls
Cork on the wall brings a warm, natural texture you want to reach out and touch. For treatment rooms, receptions and feature walls. Floors and walls alike begin in the cork forests of Portugal.
See the wallsWhere it begins
A tree that is never cut down.
In the cork forests of southern Portugal, the bark is lifted from each oak by hand, roughly once every nine years. The tree stays standing and quietly grows a new layer, as it has for generations.
Granorte has shaped that bark into floors and walls in Portugal since 1972, beginning with the cork left over from making wine stoppers. Natrul brings their work to the UK.

Colour in the grain
Recolour
Cork coloured through its surface, so the natural grain still shows. Pearl and sand, sage and dusty rose, terracotta and deep forest green. For suites, spas and receptions where the floor is part of the palette.

Colour with character
Carioca
Cork wall tiles in richer colour: mint and forest green, blush and terracotta, pearl and smoke, with the natural cork markings showing through every shade. For lounges, bars and feature walls that want personality.

Whichever you choose, it keeps the feel that makes cork different.
What guests notice
Small things that change how a room feels.
Most people never name it. They just find the room calmer, warmer and easier to be in.
Warmth
Cork holds warmth instead of drawing it away, so the first step out of bed or onto the mat is never a cold one.
Softness
Millions of tiny air-filled cells give a gentle cushion, kinder to legs and backs through a long day on your feet.
Quiet
Footsteps soften and voices stop bouncing around the room, so the whole space settles.
Made to last
Cork gives under pressure and returns to shape, with a tough factory finish that cleans with a vacuum and a damp mop.
Grown back
Harvested from living trees that are never felled. The bark returns, ready for the next harvest.
It is why cork belongs in the places people come to slow down.
Where cork feels at home
Spaces made for slowing down.
Hotels, spas, studios and the shops and restaurants that care how a room feels as much as how it looks.
Boutique hotels
Warm rooms, quiet corridors
A warm floor to step onto in the morning, quieter corridors at night, and a natural material guests can feel.
Spas and studios
Made for bare feet
A warm, comfortable surface from the treatment room to the early morning yoga class.
Considered spaces
Where materials set the tone
