New Colored Cork Flooring in Easy Snap-Lock Panels

Globus Cork launches a new cork floating floor in 30 colors which far exceeds any other cork manufacturer in the world. Easy to install snap-lock panels make it easy for the DYIer and a quick job for contractors.

New York, NY February 4, 2005 -- Globus Cork Inc. announced the launch of their colored cork line in snap-lock panels, known in the industry as Floating Floors. Cork has great thermal and acoustical insulative properties as well as natural beauty. It is also soft and warm underfoot while remaining a very durable flooring material suitable for commercial as well as residential locations.

Globus Cork launches this new floating floor product in 30 colors which far exceeds any other cork manufacturer in the world. This product appeals to homeowners who like to tackle their own home improvement projects (DYI) but might be hesitant to try the newly trendy cork flooring material. The panels snap together and do not require any adhesives. Cork floating floors can be put down over top of most existing floors, eliminating the time and expense of removing the old flooring.

Cork is the environmentally sound choice for flooring. The cork oak tree grown in the Mediterranean is never destroyed to produce cork products. The Cork bark is harvested from the tree every 9 years, leaving the forest undamaged as the tree re-grows more bark. Its not unusual to have a 200 year old tree still producing cork bark. Even better than a renewable resource, Cork is a Harvested Resource. All pigments, varnishes and adhesives that Globus Cork uses in producing its tiles are water-based, solvent-free and eco-friendly. Cork also qualifies as a rapidly-renewable resource under the US Green Building Councils LEED certification program.

Globus Cork Inc. is a US-based manufacturer of colored cork floor and wall tiles as well as cork floating floor systems. They offer over more than 20 tile shapes and sizes as well as the cork panels in over 30 colors along with custom color and size capabilities.
