Cork
Market Timbers is proud to be the exclusive Australian agent for the Wicanders brand of Cork Flooring from Portugal.
Cork is born from nature. It is one of the most complete materials for the creation of safe, comfortable and inspiring environments. The first extraction of cork from the cork Oak tree occurs only twenty-five years after planting, following which it is harvested in 9 year cycles, without ever damaging the tree in any way. This method allows the cork Oak forest to fulfil its role of fixing carbon dioxide, thus actively contributing to reducing global warming.
All Wicanders products are 100 percent FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) accredited.
Your home should be a space of internal balance, a place of pleasant re-discovery after a challenging day's work. Cork's natural properties make it an excellent sound insulator, attenuating the sounds that disturb moments of relaxation and family sharing. It is a proven fact that hard surfaces worsen feet and back injuries in urban societies. Due to its softness underfoot, a cork floor contributes to better body posture and wear and tear on the back and joints within the body structure. Cork, a remarkable thermal insulator, inspires tranquil and comfortable environments, granting energy costs savings.
Like a hug from nature, your home becomes an enveloping retreat that exhales a comforting and soothing feel for the daily renewal of body and mind.
