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 made in Portugal from the bark of living cork oaks.

Why cork

You feel it before you see it.


Step onto cork barefoot and it feels warm. It gives a little underfoot, footsteps soften, and the whole room seems to settle. It is a small thing, and it changes how a space feels to be in.

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.

Where 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.

Where colour comes alive

Recolour

Colour brings out the cork, and its texture stays clearly visible. 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.

Whichever you choose, you keep the warmth and quiet that make 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 feels warm to bare feet, so the first step out of bed or onto the mat is a comfortable 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 land softly and the room sounds calmer, with less noise carried to the floor below.

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.

    Tell us about the rooms, the look you have in mind and your timings, and we will suggest the floors and walls that suit.

  2. 02

    Feel the samples

    We post the finishes you like, so you can judge the colour and texture in the room itself.

    We can supply the cork to your own contractor, or supply and install it with approved installers we manage. Either way, one person looks after your project from start to finish.

It all starts with a sample

Feel it for yourself.


Photos only tell you so much. Choose the finishes you love and we will send samples for your project, so you can feel them underfoot and see them in the light of your own space.
