Cork flooring

andry
10 years ago

Hi all - I plan to put cork flooring in much of my new house I'm building. Currently leaning towards Globus, but wanted to get opinions out there - particularly of Wicanders, which i can get much cheaper.

I do plan to use it in the kitchen, great room, office, hallways and maybe bedrooms (deciding between that and carpeting)

Would love people's opinions. I'll be going with a natural color, regardless of brand.
