2、 Key points for choosing cork flooring

Whether the sandblasted surface of the floor is smooth, whether there are bulging particles, and whether the cork particles are pure. Next, check if the side length of the floor is straight.

Generally, households are suitable for choosing surface coated cork flooring. The cork layer is slightly thick and has a pure texture, but the layer is only 0.1mm to 0.2mm thick, relatively thin, but the soft, high-strength wear-resistant layer will not affect the excellent performance of cork. Although the surface is thin, it is carefully used at home and will not affect its lifespan. It is also easy to lay, and consumers can simply peel off the isolation paper and stick it directly to a clean and dry cement floor. If you pay more attention to the wear resistance of the floor, you can choose PVC veneer cork flooring, which has a thick (0.45mm) flexible wear-resistant layer on the surface. Although sand particles will be carried to the surface of the cork flooring, they will not slide after being pressed into the wear-resistant layer. When the foot leaves the sand particles, they will be ejected and will not scratch the wear-resistant layer.
