Good evening,
we have our eye on a floor from the company Wicanders at a trade fair, which we really like. It is called Hydrocork. It is waterproof, installed with a click system, and makes a very solid impression. My question now is whether anyone has experience with it, also regarding exposure to sunlight. It is supposed to be installed in the living room on underfloor heating. But isn't cork known as a good insulating material? Can that work well? Looking forward to opinions and comments!
Best regards

In connection with underfloor heating, one should prefer a thin cork covering that is directly glued. Like any natural product, cork is only partially colorfast under exposure to sunlight.

Wicanders Hydrocork seems to me to be a vinyl floor with a cork core. Allegedly especially suitable for renovations. However, I have no experience with it ;-).
