As more consumers clamor for more options in the products they select for their do-it-yourself projects, cork flooring has emerged as another environmentally-conscious choice for many. Cork floors have different properties than other environmentally-friendly choices -- for example, cork is absorbent, so cork isn't suitable for bathrooms. However, cork floors also absorb sound, and they are a good choice when insulation is important. Cork flooring can be quite beautiful and it is distinctive. For consumers looking for a unique look to a room, cork can provide visual interest and appeal. Cork flooring is perhaps the most eco-friendly option, because the floors are produced from bark that is harvested without harming the tree.
