Bring A New Groove To Your Home With Cork Wall Tiles
Using cork on walls is quickly becoming a popular option for homeowners. Many are choosing to go with cork instead of traditional plain walls because of its many versatile benefits. In this day and age of innovation, cork not only looks good, it is easy to maintain and reasonably priced too.
When the word ‘cork’ is mentioned, most people think of wine bottle stoppers or the conventional corkboards. You know, the ones that could be found by the hordes in schools and offices; the ones plastered with reminders and messages all over their surface.
However, as of the last few years, cork is not just available as a board in the traditional beige color, it is now available as a building material. Nor is it used merely for utilitarian purposes. You can find cork wall tiles available in a wide range of beautiful colors as well as patterns that are far, far more attractive then plain beige. Use it to refresh the look of any room. The tiles come in the glue-down style and are easy to install. It’s a greatoption for homeowners who like to change décor every few years.
Besides looking great, another motivation behind this rising trend is the fact that cork tiling is unexpectedly well priced especially when compared to the other options available. Slate wall tiles and polycarbonate sheets, the other wall covering options are beautiful but can be very expensive in comparison. With the economical slump, everybody is looking for ways to save without compromising on looks. Cork is definitely one way to do this.
Cork glue down tile can be a positive choice, especially when decorating a child’s room. It is attractive enough to brighten up the room and due to easy installation and reasonable price, can be less expensive to replace in later years. Cork tile walls can be replaced in a matter of hours. What this means is that your children can fill the walls up with all the pictures that they want, be it Barbie or Hot Wheels, Disney or Transformers during their pre-teen years. Come time for their Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus memorabilia during their teen years, just strip off the old pictures, no worries about unsightly nail or shelf holes because cork will just spring back into action. Later, after the kids have moved out, the wall can still be replaced and redecorated with something more grown up to suit sober tastes.
For die-hard environmentalists, cork offers the ideal solution in a material that is renewable and robust enough to last years. The oak trees that produces cork are not chopped down, instead only the bark is carefully peeled off to manufacture the tiles for our product. The tree, meanwhile, is left to regenerate. After several years, the tree is ready to be harvested for its bark again. These trees are capable of living up to 200 years with these periodical harvests. So unlike paper and fossil fuel, there is no destruction of natural resources just to manufacture cork.
Environmentally friendly, cost effective, attractive and easy to maintain, cork can be the ideal material for your wall décor and your flooring needs as
well.
