Cork flooring comes from cork trees, more specifically, the Cork Oak. Most Cork Oaks grow in the western part of the USA. Cork is considered a renewable source because it’s natural and it is not harmful to the environment. It is actually made from the bark off the cork oak so the trees do not need to die to harvest it! For this reason it is a very green flooring material. Cork is comfortable to walk on and dampens sound and noise, too! It’s a great value flooring material.

Cork Flooring Costs

Cork is not the least expensive flooring material on the market but far from the most costly. Cork flooring costs between $1.50 and $4.50 per square foot. For a 15X15 sized room, like a kitchen, it will cost $340 and $1012 for the materials. Cork is usually purchased in tiles. You may find all kinds of cork tile flooring at BuildDirect.com.

Paying for installing new cork flooring will be the other major expense besides buying the material. You can figure that it will cost about 20% of what you spent on the materials to pay for the actual labor of installing the floor. If you are spending about $1,000 on cork flooring for one or two small to average sized rooms you can figure that it will cost $200 for the cost of hiring a professional to put it in.
