How effective is cork flooring in the bathroom? What are the pros and cons?

Cork flooring has the good characteristics of being healthy, soft, comfortable, good foot feeling and anti-fatigue. Each cork cell is a closed air sac, and when exposed to external pressure, the cell shrinks, the internal pressure rises, and when the pressure is lost, the air pressure inside the cell restores the cell to its original state. This resilience of cork can greatly reduce the pressure caused by long-term standing on the human back, legs, ankles, and is conducive to the protection of the knee joint of the elderly at the same time, and can play a cushioning role for accidental falls, and can minimize the degree of injury to the human body.

The effect is not good, the advantage is that the foot feeling is very good, and it is very environmentally friendly, the disadvantage is that it is not wear-resistant, not waterproof, and it is easy to warp the board in the later stage.

The bathroom has cork floors, which are very warm and non-slip, which can be described as comfortable and safe. Cork flooring is very moisture-resistant, and these two advantages alone are enough to be used in the bathroom. Compared to solid wood flooring, Comfort cork flooring is more environmentally friendly and better resistant to moisture.

Similar to laminate flooring, when the cork floor needs to be cleaned, you can use a wrung out damp rag to clean the surface of the floor, if you use a lot of water to clean the cork floor, it is likely to cause the cork floor to expand and deform, shorten the service life of the floor, and also affect the overall appearance.

2. The foot feeling is soft and comfortable, because the cork itself is a polyhedral structure, like a honeycomb of pants, full of air, 50% of which is air, and people feel that they are stepping on 50% of the air after walking up, which is very soft;

3. Have certain sound absorption and anti-slip performance;

4. The moisture-proof performance is superior, and the moisture-proof performance of the cork floor determines that it is very simple and stable, and can be used in the bathroom, and the waterproof performance is very good.

For the family to decorate, it is definitely necessary to use the floor, but now the types of flooring brands are very many, people always feel special questions when buying, what kind of floor is good for the family, no matter which kind of floor, the performance is not the same, and what types of household wood flooring are also to know, so as to better understand the wood floor.

2. There are many types of laminate flooring, suitable for people of all walks of life, it is composed of four layers of material composite of wear-resistant layer, decorative layer, high-density substrate layer and moisture-proof layer. This kind of floor has good stain resistance, acid and alkali resistance, slip resistance, wear resistance, it can also play a role in preventing mildew and insect moth, and the dimensional stability is very good, and it is not easy to be affected by temperature and humidity.
