Natural Cork Underlayment Sheets

Starting at $0.85

Ask a question about this product
:

Cork contains millions of air-filled pockets per cubic inch. These air pockets compress under pressure, regaining their shape once pressure is removed thereby creating a gentle cushiony surface flooring material. With cork you are literally walking on air! This same characteristic is responsible for cork's success as an acoustic insulation.

100% Cork Flexicork Sheets excel in a variety of applications:
Underlayment
Sound reduction insulation
Stress crack suppression
Scratch protection for furnishings, floor and wall
Bulletin boards
Art projects
Trivets
Wall coverings
