Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Monet Cork:
We put it in our kitchen -- small area but well traveled. It looks very nice and we've been asked if it's walnut. It is too soft for this area and shows every corn flake and grain of flour. Would I do it over again in this area -- no. Would I put it someplace else in my home -- yes.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Monet Cork:
We put this in our new upstairs addition, 800 sq ft. of family space. The floor was beautiful, until we put on poly. We couldn't find the recommended poly so we used a low sheen poly and I tell you, it took away from the cork. I would not seal if I had to do it all over again. Even though the poly was low sheen it still came out shiny and the cork losts it's warm feeling. Honestly, it seems like spot cleaning and sweeping is all it really needs, so sealing probably was just a waste of time and money. If anyone knows how I can remove, redue or cut down on the sheen of the poly please let me know. Cause my cork floors are tooo shiny.
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Monet Cork:
We installed this cork over about 1500 square feet of our new home two years ago. I still love it. It does scratch easily but I think it still looks gorgeous. I know that we'll never be able to sand it down and have it look as perfect as it did when we first installed it but that's the nature of cork. Once we put the extra coats of finish on it, it became very slippery when just wearing socks. That was kind of fun for us though made me nervous when we had guests.
It is good for sound deadening and it is warmer than wood. Also, if you're installing it over wide spaces, follow the instructions for leaving an expansion gap. We didn't and subsequently have a crack that opens/closes with the season. Thankfully it's right where the rug goes. Also, it takes a while to get the hang of putting this stuff together. Take your time to figure out the correct angles and amount of pressure when tapping. Once you get the hang of it, it goes pretty quickly.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Monet Cork:
Not too bad to install, be careful when tapping the joints tight, they will get too tight and show. Quieter to walk on than other floating products. NOT DURABLE. Don't use it anywhere anyone will walk on it, drop something on it or set furniture on it. If it is for a room that you will just look at, it's fine. I used it in a closet, and it is not holding up after three weeks.
Delivered to store on time. No problems with order or delivery. Staff in store does not know anything about the product (care, finishing, installation, etc.)

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Monet Cork:
Lock and click sounds easier than it is for a novice but once we got started, it got easier. I applied this floor in my bathroom against most recommendations. I followed directions I found on the internet applying extra precaution for bathrooms including moisture barrier underneath and coating when finished with polyerathain. It is lovely. So far, I love it. Time will tell.

Excellent product! Very easy to install compared to hardwood. We weren't quite sure if it would look good, but now that it's installed we are very pleased with the appearance.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Monet Cork:
easy to cut and install. be careful not to force the pieces together too hard tho. the edges will lift.
looks great and it's really nice to walk on. doesn't scratch that easy but can dent easily enough. i'm not sure how it would handle high heeled shoes.
