Cork Pictures – Where does cork flooring come from?

This cork tree has recently been harvested to product wine corks and cork flooring

This cork tree us being harvested for wine corks and cork flooring without cutting it down. The bark is removed about every 9 years and the trees last for 150-200 years. That is green flooring!

This is the bark of cork flooring that is being taking to a cork factory. (today trucks are used, but in old times hand carts were used)

The wine stoppers have been punched from this cork oak bark. Now the remainder of the bark will be constructed into different post industrial usages including Cork Flooring. Cork Flooring is LEEDS capable because it is 90% post industrial waste.

This cork flooring has been cut and will be sliced to create a surface veneer for the top of premium grade cork flooring.
