This is a completely natural material that is not only environmentally friendly, but also has very good characteristics. By its device, this is a multi -layer coating, which is made on the basis of natural material from compressed cork wood.
Camping coatings according to the features of the structure are divided into floating and adhesive. Swimming cork coatings are fixed on the basis of the base floor only in the joints, while adhesives are glued to the base of the floor throughout the area.

The front layer of cork flooring is usually a layer of veneer from a cork or can be made of various valuable wood species. Quite often, the front surface is covered with a layer of protective varnish or protective vinyl, which perfectly protect the floor from all kinds of mechanical damage, and also have a decorative function.
