Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Matisse Cork:
I like the green nature, the warmth underfoot, the cushioned feeling and the fact that it repairs itself to some extent if you scratch it or place something heavy on it. The depression will disappear.It's a good choice in rooms for young or old who might be unsteady on their feet.
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Matisse Cork:
Easy enough if you've every installed laminate. If not the tap and click is not as simple as it looks and takes a while to get the hang of. Also don't get too aggressive or you'll damage the edges. Invest in one of those laminate installation kits and knee-pads. Looks great once it's done. I haven't decided if I'm going to coat it with poly as they recommend.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Matisse Cork:
After a lot of research I chose cork flooring for my kitchen because I believed it would be durable enough. Unfortunately we had a bent foot on our stove that gouged it a few times on the way in. We'll keep it but not sure we would do it again. It feels great under foot.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Matisse Cork:
I am happy with this flooring, it was easy to install and looks great. I am curious to see how it holds up through wear and tear. I put three coats of polyurithane sealer on it per the manufactures reccomendations. The dog has been running all over the flooring and the floor shows no scratches. You will need a tap block to get all the joints tight.

from Southeast on 5/2/2009
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Matisse Cork:
Installed in upstairs family/kid room. Very easy install due to size of planks and attached underlay. Soft on bare feet and room below stays quiet. If trim pieces were available I'd likely do the staircase as well. Matisse design shows minimal seams; only when the sun hits it at certain angles.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Matisse Cork:
Although the floor looked terrific before I sealed it, once I sealed it with Bonakemi Traffic, as recommended, the seams of the floor became water-logged and rose up slightly. Whereas prior to sealing, the floor looked like one smooth piece of cork, after sealing, you can now see each individual plank and it doesn't look nearly as good.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Matisse Cork:
It is extremely easy to install and looks great. I suspect that it is pretty soft and could be easily damaged if something is dropped on it.

from Greenville, SC on 2/28/2009
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Matisse Cork:
The large tiles (1 ft x 3 ft) made it seem like it would be a quick install, but the tongue and groove channels required a good bit of force and some finesse to lock together. Also, once a tile is cut to fit (you cut off the tongue or groove) and it becomes unusable again. But even with the difficult install, the finished product is beautiful, the seams disappeared and it is a seamless floor with character, warmth, and what we hope will be durability and longevity. After only two weeks, it is still easy to clean and maintain, but we would hesitate to recommend to others due to the headache-inducing installation.

Extremely happy with the cork. Easy to install for my husband's first stab at this type of flooring. Didn't really want to tile the bath; wanted something different; superb!!!

from CLEVELAND, OHIO on 6/5/2008
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Matisse Cork:
Easy to install. Trimming was simple. Product was relatively uniform in shade and really looks great.
Our only issue was when we sealed it with a Verethane Satin water based poly, the floor dried extremely slippery. Great appearance, but quite a surprise. Not sure how we will deal with this.
