Engineered Hardwood Floors are made with several plies of wood that a glued and/or laminated together to form a wood plank. They range in thickness from 1/4" to 3/4". Floating wood floors, and long-strip are normally engineered. construction as well. Cork is made from a renewable resource tree bark. Cork is soft, warm, is naturally sound-deadening, antimicrobial, resistant to mold and mildew. The majority of cork planks and tiles have a specially designed, tongue-and-grooved, moisture-resistant inner core to secure the planks or tiles together, similar to laminate floors. Cork is a natural product and will fade in direct sunlight. Cork will generally yellow with age and cork floors will react to changes in relative humidity and heat.
