How much is the cork floor per square meter? What kinds of cork floors are there?

Cork flooring I believe many people don't know much about the laboratory. It can be said that this kind of floor is very good. Cork is an oak tree that grows on the Mediterranean coast. The original cork product was the bark of an oak tree. Cork flooring is environmentally friendly, sound-proof, soft, silent and wear-resistant, which can provide great buffer for the accidental falls of the elderly and children. So how much is the cork floor per square meter?

At present, there are three kinds of cork flooring sold in the building materials market, each with different characteristics, so the price of cork flooring will be different.

The first kind is pure cork floor with a thickness of 4-5 mm. If you only take a small piece, it looks like a damp-proof mat. From the color point of view, it is very rough and primitive, with no fixed pattern, which is very different from the striped floor that children usually know. Although there are dozens of colors, the difference is not obvious. Its biggest feature is the use of pure cork, pure texture, very environmentally friendly. Its installation method is adhesive, that is, it is directly attached to the ground with special glue, which has complicated construction technology and high requirements for the ground. From the price point of view, the price of this floor is relatively low, generally above 100 yuan/square meter.

The second kind of cork floor has three layers in cross section, the upper and lower layers are cork, and the middle layer is sandwiched with a medium density board with mortise (lock), the thickness of which can reach about 10 mm, commonly known as "sandwich". The cork in the inner and outer layers can achieve a good mute effect, and the color is the same as that of the pure cork floor, but there are some shortcomings. However, it is much simpler to install, mainly using hanging type, which is similar to the reinforced floor, and the requirements for the ground are not too high. The price of this kind of cork floor is relatively high, and the general market price is above 300 yuan/square meter. The above two kinds of cork floors come from Amorim company in Portugal, which are pure in texture and very environmentally friendly.

The third kind is called cork silent floor, which is a combination of cork and composite floor. The bottom layer is cork, the surface layer is composite floor, and the middle layer is sandwiched with a layer of medium density board, the thickness of which can reach13.4 mm. When people walk on it, the cork at the bottom can absorb part of the sound and play a role in noise reduction, because it has enough thickness and has a very good foot feeling. The price of this kind of cork floor is 300-600 yuan /m2.

The related knowledge of cork flooring is introduced. The above prices are for reference only, and the main prices are determined by the basic brands. There is one thing that needs special attention here: don't put hot items such as hot water cups directly on the floor to avoid scalding the surface paint film. Try to avoid direct sunlight on the floor for a long time, so as to avoid premature drying and aging of the paint film after long-term intense ultraviolet radiation.
