Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
We installed this product in our basement over a concrete floor. Very easy to install. We did put two coats of poly over it once complete. It looks beautiful and feels great under the feet. Helps keep the basement warm too.
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
We just installed this cork flooring in our bathrooms. My husband and a friend did it in 2 days, which is good since neither had done it before. It looks beautiful. I cannot comment on durability, since it is so new, but it is definitely not as soft as I thought it would be. It feels nice underfoot and gives the bathrooms a very warm feeling.
Would love to use this product in our entire house.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
I installed this flooring in my kitchen. It is beautiful. It was VERY easy to install. From rolling out the underlayment to finish took me about 6 hours by my self. The edges of the planks are fragile so you have to be careful when using the tapping block to close the seams. But other than that, AWESOME!!! It is quite to walk across, warm and soft in bare feet. I am in love with this stuff.

Just had it installed professionally. Looks nice.Not enough traffic to establish wear
product picked up by installer. No problems in dealing by phone. They wanted written approval for installer to pick up. Gave the installer a letter stating we approved his picking up.

great underfoot, warm and soft on feet.
dropped a can of vegetables on it,,edge dented cork, but is practically invisible.
do not use rubberized carpet pad under rugs,,,,sticky residue.
LOVE the floor! Will do more rooms with it.

Recently put the cork in my kitchen. It is great, not cold like tile and has a beautiful shine once I put on 2 coats of the Bon Kemi Traffic. Love it!!
I have 2 dogs, no problem yet. Cleans up great with just a little water.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
I've used this tile in a couple of rooms not usually recommended, an apartment bathroom and two kitchens. So far, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't so long as you seal the surface. The results have been good, though we've faced no real test such as an overflowing sink and the aftermath. Our thinking is that replacement is so quick and relatively inexpensive that the pros outweighed the cons. I wouldn't have used it so much if it weren't good, but be warned that it will mar and mar pretty badly if you're not careful with it. But its warm and inviting, and a good candidate always. It's easy to install as long as you have the steel bar with flanges at both ends for setting.

Still remodeling, so I can't yet comment on durability, (check with me in ten years!).
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
After reading similar reviews about difficulty in installing we chose to hire a local contractor who had installed similar products before. He still had a hard time. The finished product is beautiful. The color is rich and warm and the floor doesn't feel hard and cold like tile. It doesn't show dirt at all. We have 2 large dogs and are continually sweeping up dog hair and spills. We still clean up after them, but you can't see it on the floor. Because we have the dogs we sealed the floor with a polyurethane (as recommended) to help protect against scratching the surface. So far we haven't noticed that to be a problem.
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
We put this flooring in our bathroom and I love it! It was recommended we seal it with a floor-grade polyurethane so I used a semi-gloss to give it a little shine. It is easy to clean, warm to the touch, and no grout to clean.

I don't think my wife and I could be anymore pleased with this choice.
It looks awesome.
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
We installed on ceiling and walls. Too delicate for floor.
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
I did say UNCLE and have someone install the flooring. I used this in my laundry room, this is a small room with three door ways and some angles. Since I do not have a table saw I decided it would be best to leave to a pro. This looks great and so far all my friends have been surprised at how great it looks. Applying a coat of poly was easy and enhanced the color.
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
WOW this is a great product. We used it in a bathroom. Bought it because it is a green product, but LOVE it because of the ease of installation (our 6 year old helped) the beauty and the wow factor. Everyone who sees it just says wow, what kind of floor is that??!!! Be prepared to be amazed
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
Loved this product! Was easy to install, easy to cut, doesn't have seams - it looks like one sheet, not different planks. It looks great in my powder room! Just follow the manufacturer's directions. Most importantly, since it is a floating floor, make sure your sub floor is level

[...] it worked great and looks super nice!
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
I bought the floor because it looks really nice but the kicker was the BOSS saw it while I was at work and was really impressed! It will be going in one bedroom and soon as I finish my current project.Thank You
Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
Installed in my kitchen and dinette area after my refrigerator ice maker filter had flooded the area. Looks great and I hope it is durable enough for a kitchen. Installed felt pads under dinette table and chairs. Installation was easy. A lot of measuring and cutting around cabinets. The only con I have is; you can see the seams after three coats of polyurethane.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
We chose the Van Gogh because it was beautiful and we appreciated the sound-absorbing, eco-friendly, easy-care aspects of cork flooring. We hired professional installers, but they were unable to install them. The cork tiles were not milled correctly to click and lock tightly and seamlessly.
Disappointed that the cork did not work out, but Lumber Liquidators was fantastic about the return process. Will definitely shop there again!

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
My wife has allergies so I decided we needed to get the carpet out. So we used the cork in our living room and our formal dining room. It seems to make the rooms look bigger. I love the different colors that are in the cork. We have only had it for three weeks now so I can't talk about the durability yet. I put two coats of semi-gloss polyurethane down just for extra protection. I wanted to put another coat down but the wife was ready to get the house back in order. Had to get wood transition pieces and I would recomend the unfinished redwood and stain them yourself. That is what I did and the color matched great.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
This was easy to install. It is a little tricky at first, nothing to hard, but once you get the hang of it, very easy to install. We love the way it looks. We plan on installing this product in the master bathroom when we remodel it later this year.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
This product is very durable, and easy on the feet. I would recommend it because it is eco-friendly and renewable. Oak cork trees need "shaving" every decade or so. The product looks rich and most people do not know what it is at first glance. They are always surprised to know that it is cork from Portugal, the home of the best cork in the world for flooring and wine bottle corks as well.

It is being used in two bathrooms, master bath to replace carpet, the previous owners put in. And in the basement bathroom, which we are finishing.

lots of time to apply 5 coats of poly, but the results are worth it.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
i installed it in my kitchen. measure carefully and be sure to leave that all important 1/4" gap all around to allow for expansion ! it fits realy tight with no seams visible in the finished installation. you could get by with just a skill saw but if you do, then you will have to make all your cuts from the back of the pieces so you dont chip the finish side. i used a table saw for most of my cuts and a fine tooth handsaw for the intricate cuts. overall i am very pleased with the finished product. it feels good underfoot and is very easy to keep clean.. i put stick-on felt pads on the table & chair legs to minimise the chance of damaging the finish.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
I installed this floor over concrete in a restaurant. We sealed it with a professional floor finish. It gets mopped everyday, has heavy traffic, and it still looks great! I wish that I had used it throughout. Cork also has great sound absorbtion so it is a perfect choice for restaurant use. I would use it again if I ever needed too. The ambiance it provides is fantastic.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
This product, got all the carpet out of the bedrooms and hallwayys. We are all breathing and sleeping better. It's warmer than tile and easy to clean, what's not to like. The only crazy thing,is that when you tell people that you put in the cork flooring, they all see the bulletin board at work or school not the great looking floor we have. But, when they see it they are blown away. Some how this has to be marketed for max visual appeal.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
I put this floor in a basement on a concrete floor. It does a great job absorbing the sound and makes the room warmer. Even tonight, with the outside temp at 25 degrees, it is comfortable in the room. Definitely recommend it to all.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
I put the cork in the basement level to finish off the rec and TV area. My son will be having his friends over and I wanted something that would withstand the wear. This has worked out perfectly. It is warmer than carpet and absorbs the noise very well that the boys make.
The cork was easy to install and cuts very easily with a small circular saw. I put on 5 coats of polyurethane to seal the cork. This was one gallon of polyurethane for about 400 sq ft. I don't have any worries if there is any liquid spilled or the dog has an accident on the cork.
I am highly recommending it to all that I show it to.

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
The cork flooring is really beautiful and adds depth and warmth to our kitchen. It was only installed a few weeks ago so I can't speak to its durability but I can say that it is comfortably soft underfoot which is perfect in a kitchen (when you're standing a lot for mixing and chopping, etc.).

Comments about Lisbon Cork 7/16" x 12" x 36" Van Gogh Cork:
The tough part is keeping the seems together until you get about 4 to 5 rows connected. YOU HAVE TO KEEP A WATCH ON YOUR SEEMS STAYING TOGETHER BEFORE AND AFTER EACH ROW. Once you get the hang of it and how to lock and tap each piece together, it gets easier. My husband and I decided to put cork flooring though out our new house and we had NEVER even touched a piece of cork and we laid it ourselves...and let me add...we did a great job. So anyone can do it...just take your time. We are SO PLEASED with our cork floor...and we have NO CARPET...Yea!!!!
