Cork Floor Tiles for Your Bathroom: A Wickes Guide
Cork flooring has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. It's soft underfoot, warm to the touch, and naturally sound-absorbing, making it an excellent choice for bedrooms and living spaces. But what about using cork in the bathroom?
While bathrooms might seem like an unlikely place for cork, it can actually be a fantastic choice if you choose the right tiles and take the proper precautions. Here's a look at why cork tiles might be the perfect fit for your bathroom, and how Wickes can help you achieve your dream bathroom floor:
Why Choose Cork Floor Tiles for Your Bathroom?
- Water-Resistant: Cork is naturally resistant to moisture, thanks to its suberin content, which acts as a natural sealant. This means cork tiles can withstand the occasional splash or spill, making them suitable for bathroom environments.
- Anti-Slip: Cork is naturally textured, offering excellent traction, making it safer than slick tiles, especially for elderly individuals or young children.
- Soft and Comfortable: Cork is comfortable underfoot and provides good insulation, making it warm and inviting, even on cold mornings.
- Eco-Friendly: Cork is a renewable and sustainable resource harvested from the bark of cork oak trees, making it an environmentally-friendly choice for your home.
- Easy Maintenance: Cork tiles are easy to clean and require minimal maintenance, making them a practical choice for a busy bathroom.
