Cork Flooring 
Similar to rubber and linoleum, cork is an old product with renewed interest since the product comes from a renewable resource, the bark of a tree commonly known as Cork Oak. Predominantly found in Spain and Portugal, Cork Oak is native to the Mediterranean region. Cork flooring is made by removing the bark of the Cork Oak (Quercus Suber). Cork flooring It is a natural product so it will show the natural variations that occur in the bark. Cork is installed much like hardwood and once installed, a urethane coating is applied although there are prefinished products on the market today. Cork absorbs moisture so it is not suitable for bathrooms or any area with high moisture content.

Linoleum
Invented in the 1860s – with a number of improvements since then – linoleum as a floor covering has been largely replaced with vinyl flooring which has similar properties of flexibility and durability, but which has greater brightness and translucency.  Linoleum is experiencing a revival in popularity, due to its natural ingredients and environmental properties. Included in these natural ingredients are linseed oil, wood flour, limestone, cork, and tree resins. Linoleum requires much less wax and finish, and cleaning and stain removal are faster and easier. End-users reduce their use of water, detergent and energy. Because Harmonium linoleum is so much easier to maintain, it generates a quicker ROI.

Rubber Flooring 
With waterproof and slip-resistant properties that make it ideal for harsh environments that require frequent or harsh cleaning,  rubber flooring is commonly used in institutional and commercial facilities.  The surface texture can vary from smooth marbleized or chip designs to many raised textures, including circular, square, flagstone, hammered or diamond-plate patterns and many others.   Some rubber tiles are engineered to work most anywhere petroleum products, animal fats and vegetable oils are present providing a safe work environment. While most of today’s rubber flooring contains synthetic materials some natural rubber is still used by manufacturers to create their products. Rubber presents another excellent flooring choice, especially if you’re looking for something durable and quiet and warm to walk on. In the past rubber floors were definitely appreciated for function over beauty, but today’s rubber flooring can be as dazzling as any other type of resilient flooring choice.  Rubber typically has a higher initial cost and requires very experienced, professional installation. Rubber flooring is perfect for Fitness centers, Health clubs, Gymnasiums, Dance floors and other high-impact spaces

The tiles are typically manufactured in 12” x 12” squares and can be used in a wide range of color and design combinations to create unique, custom effects.   VCT is a highly popular choice due to its low cost and aesthetic offering.  In fact, vinyl composition tile accounts for more square footage than any other category of resilient flooring.

Vinyl Sheet Flooring 
The vinyl sheet flooring offered today is the product of years of advancements in manufacturing technology and design capabilities. Sheet vinyl flooring is typically offered in 6’ and 12’ widths with products for both the professionally installed and do-it-yourself installations. A word of caution though - installing a vinyl sheet floor is a very exacting process that requires excellent skills for cutting and seaming, and knowledge about what the flooring is being installed over.  Professional installation by a reputable flooring dealer is highly recommended and may save you money in the long run. If the area to be covered is wider than the flooring material, seaming will be necessary and it  needs to be pointed out that certain patterns hide seams better. For example, seams will typically be less visible in tile patterns with grout lines. Vinyl sheet provides the perfect flooring solution for many areas because of its low cost, durability, and easy maintenance. Couple this with the beautiful array of available styles and colors and easy installation/removal and you’ve got a truly superior flooring option.
