Expanko Traditional Cork flooring uses manufacturing processes dating back to the early 1900s, which allow rich, natural shades and patterns. Varying the oven temperatures and baking times create different shades--no artificial stains or dyes are used. Cork has a unique cellular composition of over 2.4 million air-filled cells per cubic inch, making it approximately 80% air and giving the cork a number of features:

• Comfortable: to walk on and causes less stress--your joints and bones will enjoy it
• Resilience: it can recover its original dimension when compressed with pinpointed pressure
• Durability: many floors remain in service today after more than 80 years.
• Environmentally Sustainable: the bark of the Cork Oak tree is stripped every 9 years inflicting no damage to the tree. Chemicals are rarely if ever used for pest control or fertilizer. Expanko uses 80-100% post-production waste.
• Excellent Sound Insulator: helps to reduce sound echo and sound transfer
• Non-Toxic: does not contain chemicals that cause allergic reactions.
