I have been desperately trying to get a cork floor into lots of my projects for the huge amounts of benefits you will read here in this brilliant article.
It can be slightly on the expensive side for the more durable, family friendly options - however, the more of us using this excellent material, the quicker it will become less costly and will be much more widely available at a more homeowner friendly price.

Have a read and don't look back. Cork is for life, not just for wine bottles!
