Went down extremely easy and looks great. Put two coats of water-based polyurethane to seal the seams. Will see how it holds up in the bathroom.

I put this in a 34 ft Airstream travel trailer. My husband and I put it in the living area and kitchen and it looked so good I continued down the hall and the bathroom. It cuts well and has good cushioning. I chose it because we had so many oak cabinets we didn't want another wood that clashed.Great choice

We were wary of installing cork in our kitchen because we feared stains and/or warping from water. But this stuff really handles well. We wipe up spills fairly quickly but in general, it is very durable. Bonus, we have dropped open wine bottles and a glass jar of tomato sauce. They made a mess but the glass didn't break!

I installed this cork flooring in my kitchen about 2 years ago. Overall I feel that I made the right choice.
When you are going to be in the kitchen for hours you can almost forget how sore your feet used to be with tile or laminate.
Also, I have cathedral ceilings, but experience no echoes when walking across the floor. With vinyl flooring that was not the case.
I keep my thermostat low throughout the year, but the floors stay relatively warm.
I recently did get a stain from tomatoes that leaked onto the floor and stained it. I am not finding much info on how to take care of that other than replacing sections. I think the polyurethane that you seal it with is very important, but did not prevent the dark stain.
This floor too a long time for installers to install and there were many pieces with cracked edges/corners. Overall, came out great. However, finish seemed lacking and I could not trust myself walking on it w/o putting extra layers of water based poly on top... esp to protect seams.
