Hi,

we are considering laying cork flooring continuously in our sleeping and retreat rooms (i.e. office/workroom/reading corner/ironing and sewing room or simply the 'Don’t.get.on.my.nerves.when.my.boss.already.irritates.me!' room) - alternatively maybe parquet... - the question arises: how sensitive will it be? How long does cork flooring last in private use, and when do the usual walking paths start to show? Load: mostly barefoot or in socks... What is recommended as support points for office chairs (casters or floor gliders)? Subfloor: underfloor heating, but since the rooms are kept somewhat cooler anyway, and the whole building will be well insulated (+ central controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery), it probably won’t be used much.

Regards
I.

I can only recommend it. We did it exactly like that. Absolutely insensitive. Only with the office chair would I put a mat underneath. Available at Ikea for €25.

Ikea mat is not approved for underfloor heating with cork (this is stated on our Ikea one). Our office chair makes nice marks in the cork,... Cork is not sensitive, especially when it has been sealed. It is rather resistant because it slightly springs back and thus cushions impacts - BUT sharp objects leave marks - similar to parquet,...
