Quick Highlights: Lisbon Cork Co. Ltd. Fine Cork Flooring combines the beauty of a natural material with the comfort of a cushioned surface. It is durable, acoustical, and a great insulator. The bark of the cork tree is peeled without destroying the tree and it grows back within nine years, ready to be harvested again. Warm to the touch and resilient, cork floors are a joy to live with. Cork is considered a green product because the same tree can be harvested numerous times. Order now through our web site, visit your local store, or Call 1-800-HARDWOOD Lumber Liquidators...

The product is beautiful and was easy to install. It is an excellent alternative to tile, and is much softer under-foot than tile. I would recommend this to a friend. My only negative comment is regarding the "T" molding/trim. I omitted it from the installation because it was too high in profile. I wish LL had a product that was more "flush."

Too early to give full comment - I'm sure we will encounter issues (hopefully minor) as time passes, so I don't want to rave too much.

Make sure to start with a solid straight edge, whether it be the wall or nailed in board. To hammer in, use a scrap piece of floor, click it into the floor piece that you are installing and knock on the scrap piece with the block from the tool set. This eliminates breaking the piece you have installed. We also found that if you use some silicone spray on the tongue it helps to slide it in easier and will not hurt the floor if you get it on it. Wipes right off. Take your time. After you install four rows, pull the floor away from the straight edge (remove nailed board, if using one) and slide back to the appropriate distance from the wall for expansion and keep on going. The corners of the board pieces may need to pulled off in order to assure an even fit. You will note that these may look broken but are not. If you find the corners are not flat, remove piece and check to see if this corner piece is causing the corner edges to be uneven. It is beautiful and attractive. We removed our carpet and are extremely happy with our decision.
Service and delivery comments:
The staff at the Sun Prairie/Madison store were very helpful, friendly and encouraging. The product arrived promptly. Out of 8 boxes, only 1 board was damaged and couldn't be used.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Rossio Cork flooring is beautiful. Unfortunately the panels do not fit as snuggly together as other floating floors I've used. Now that I look at pictures online I can see this is a common problem. I would not buy this again.
Pros

Best Uses
Your existing floors need to be perfectly flat even with underlayment fabric. Tapping is required to join and seat the joints, and if you tap to hard, it destroys the cardboard mating surfaces of the interlocking joint. You have to scrap the entire plank then. Some joints work perfectly, but a majority did not. Installation took way to much effort. Big disappointment.

- Use a fine tooth table saw blade for all cuts; reduces chances of chipping which may ruin the whole use of an individual piece.

This was put in 3 bathrooms and the laundry room. It feels warm to the feet and is easy to clean, simply dust mop. A little concerned about getting water on it.
Once you got the hang of it, it was fairly easy to put together. Be careful when cutting out doorways. Suggest taking off all floor moulding before starting. It takes time, be patient!

Beautiful flooring. Great price. A bit of a bear to work with at first. The substrate is not quite as hard as other 'laminate' floor types. But once you get the hang of working with it, it goes down well. The color is quite unique. It is somewhat remeniscent of stone, a little. Recommend using a sealer in kitchen. We will use gloss Waterlox. Make the floor really POP!

Cork flooring like wood flooring requires humidity at 35% to 55% constant. A hot tub from may be too much.Q:
can you glue down this product? I am doing an engineered border with a cork inlay.1 answer
A:
Unfortunately this is a click (floating) product only.Q:
Is this rossio cork floor brown or gray in tone? It is hard to determine from the picture. Thanks.1 answer

This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.Q:
We have 2 very active dogs 40-60lbs and occasionally our daughters dog which is 80lbs. I want to use cork flooring for our stairs going up to the guest rooms and also on the upstairs landing area.1 answer
A:
This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.Q:
Since this is soft and cushiony, how does floor hold up with furniture on it? wouldn't the furniture leave marks or indents on floors from the legs?1 answer
A:
Yes it could, I would recommend purchasing furniture floor protectors to help minimize permanent denting to the cork flooring.Q:
We are replacing carpets in a bedroom because the dog has been peeing on them. They were very dark, and we couldn't see to clean it properly. If the dog pees on the cork flooring, will it ruin the flooring? Or is it safe enough if cleaned up? How porous is the surface?1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
It's not porous but rather sealed with 7 coats of water-based urethane finish.Q:
We are considering cork flooring for our summer cabin. The cabin is closed for the winter with no heat as we can't get to it due to all the snow. Will cork flooring hold up to dry summer climates and freezing temps in the winter?1 answer
A:
All of our flooring products are designed and recommended for interior use only.Q:
We have to pull out the refrigerator to plug it into a generator because we lose electric often. Will cork flooring hold up? Our fridge is very large.1 answer
A:
I would recommended having four strips of 1/4" x 4' x 8" luan boards to roll the fridge out on to prevent damaging the cork flooring.Q:
We'd like to put this flooring in our 3 bedrooms; the rest of the house is oak. Will it match up nicely with oak? Also, one family member uses an electric wheelchair which weighs about 200-250 lbs., plus the person-never mind her weight! The chair makes quick turns, pivots and stops. Will this floor stand up to this type of wear and tear? Our present carpet is pulled loose and saggy in the walkway. Sometimes water gets spilled. Will it cause a stain and if so, could we replace the damaged square(s)?1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
It would match oak nicely however, being in a heavy wheelchair myself, I'm not sure I would use cork. Hardwood or a high warranty laminate flooring may be a better choice.
