With the world evolving toward a more conscious outlook on living, greener homes are becoming the most relevant and popular trend. At Barry Carpet, we are passionate about the environment we live in — and cork flooring is one of our favorite eco-friendly options.
What is Cork Flooring?
Cork flooring comes from the outer bark of the cork oak tree. Since it can be stripped and removed several times with little harm to the tree, it is a steady source of renewable raw material. Along with being 100% biodegradable, cork flooring is elastic, durable, warm and soft underfoot. It is also impermeable to moisture and has natural rot-resistant and fire-resistant properties.
Benefits of Cork Flooring
- Eco-Friendly: Renewable, biodegradable, and harvested without harming the tree.
- Comfortable: Elastic and soft underfoot — ideal for children, the elderly, and anyone on their feet for long periods.
- Sound Insulation: Cork provides fantastic insulation against sound and vibrations — perfect for multi-unit buildings.
- Thermal Insulation: Maintains optimal temperature underfoot year round.
- Waterproof Options: Modern cork products like Amorim WISE are 100% waterproof.

Our newest cork brand addition at Barry Carpet is Amorim WISE — a sustainable, non-PVC, floating solution that is 100% waterproof.
