With the arrival of springtime and the beginning of longer daylight hours, warmer temperatures and nature starting to renew and regrow, there is no better time for reflection, and to consider the positive changes we can make in our lives.
What better way to spring into action than by making material improvements to your house or flat, perhaps install new flooring for your kitchen to make it a more welcoming and healthy space.
Perhaps it’s time for a fresh look, shrug off the winter blues, and a re-evaluation to how we connect to nature. Being connected to nature can provide health benefits, be mood enhancing and allow us to evaluate the impact of our carbon footprint.
Cork flooring is more than simply laying a new floor. It’s a lifestyle choice that not only embraces sustainability, and the health and natural benefits of cork, but provides a durable and cost-effective flooring solution.
Craft Design Construction believes in combining style and responsibility, and our cork flooring for kitchens are the epitome of this ethos. Let us present you with compelling reasons why cork flooring should be your choice.
Elegance that lasts generations
Cork flooring is manufactured from the bark of the cork oak tree. Axes are used to carefully prise the bark from the tree – a process known as stripping – undertaken every 9 years, allowing the cork tree to live for up to 200 years and absorb CO2 for generations to come.
Cork not used for wine stoppers is broken down into a granulated form before it is put to use to make the flooring. This means all cork stripped from the tree is used. Not only is cork sustainable, there is no wastage too!
By choosing cork flooring from Craft Design Construction, not only are you making improvements to your kitchen, but you are making a clear lifestyle choice that embraces environmentally responsible design as part of a healthier and sustainable ecosystem.
Underfoot Comfort
Consider entering your kitchen on a cold morning and feeling the warmth beneath your feet. Cork flooring has inherent insulating capabilities, making it an excellent choice for keeping your kitchen at an optimum temperature (it is compatible with underfloor heating), which could result in lower energy costs. Cork is also shock-absorbent, which reduces foot fatigue during extended periods of cooking or meal preparation.
Acoustic Joy
The sizzling of pans and the clatter of plates are common sounds in kitchens. The same properties that make cork comfortable underfoot also help to reduce noise transmission, ensuring a tranquil and serene environment.
Cork flooring absorbs sound, reduces noise and creates a more serene environment. Say goodbye to echoes and clinks and hello to a calm kitchen where discussions flow naturally.
Strong and Durable
Spills, drops, and frequent foot traffic makes life in the kitchen difficult. Not to worry! Cork flooring is not only tough, but also long-lasting, able to withstand the rigours of daily living. Cork’s intrinsic elasticity guarantees that it bounces back from impacts, allowing it to keep its natural form for years to come.
Easy to Maintain and Keep Clean
Who wants to spend their time cleaning when they could be enjoying the fresh air or spending precious time with friends or family? Maintaining a clean cork floor is an effortless task.
Cork is formed of a unique cellular structure that doesn’t absorb dust, making it ideal for allergy sufferers. Nothing more than a gentle damp mop should be all that is required to keep it looking fresh, and since cork dries relatively quickly, inconvenience is reduced.
Timeless Aesthetics
Cork flooring for kitchens provides a timeless look that works well in a variety of design styles. Our cork flooring provides a varied canvas for your creative vision, whether you want a natural or modern finish. Allow the warmth of cork to breathe fresh life into your kitchen, creating an appealing and visually stunning area.
