We chose the flooring in the kitchen: we decided between the tile and the cork. The choice settled on the latter. Having decided that the dishes are beating on the tile, and even with a terrible sound. In addition, tile is cold material.
We bought cork laminate at a local store, the choice was made by the Portuguese manufacturer Wicanders. It was attracted by the fact that the material is environmentally friendly, natural, warm, hypoallergenic (suitable for patients with asthma), quiet, pleasant to the touch. Also, if desired, the cork floor can be painted. In general, it is difficult to convey our joy! Cork is also suitable for pet owners. Since it is varnished and neither the dog nor the cat leaves claw marks, this is important for us - we have a playful dachshund.
When choosing a cork, note that it happens with a lock and adhesive. The first one, like a laminate, also has some of its drawbacks, if water gets into the “castle”, it can swell, while the glue plug is not afraid of anything, including water.
pros
With the cork floor it has become much warmer, now I can easily walk barefoot, which is extremely important for me (I have flat feet - my feet don’t freeze), a large selection of colors, affordable price, there is a budget series.
