A natural combination
from Granorte
Combining two natural flooring materials to give the
best of both worlds, Linocork from Granorte brings
a unique aesthetic to the home, perfect for making a
contemporary style statement.
Featuring a linoleum surface with the acoustic,
thermal and comfort benefits of an agglomerated
cork base and integrated cork underlay, Linocork
breathes new life into a once hugely popular
domestic flooring material, introducing it to a new
design-conscious audience.
In a range of traditional marbleised and linear
linoleum looks, as well as a palette of solid shades
that are ideal for maximum impact in LinocorkUNI,
the floor comes in a tile format and with uniclic,
making it suitable for DIY installation. Featuring
Microban® antibacterial protection and with a
15-year residential warranty, Linocork comes with
JointShield® edge protection to resist prolonged
exposure to standing water and helping to create a
more impervious floor finish.
Made from renewable ingredients including linseed
oil, pine rosin, cork dust and wood flour, linoleum is
enjoying a renaissance as it offers consumers an
easy to look after floor that is both good for the
environment and indoor air quality. Combined with
the advantages of another natural material in cork,
the result is one that achieves GREENGUARD
and A+ Emissions Dans L’Air Intérieur certification,
underlining its positive wide and immediate
environmental benefits.
“At Granorte we are focused on providing residential
and commercial grade floors that utilise the benefits
of natural materials and our Linocork collection is
the perfect epitome of this attitude,” comments Paulo
Rocha, Granorte. “By using cork and linoleum to
create a floor that is hardwearing, and easy to
maintain as well as that provides acoustic, thermal
and comfort benefits; we are proving that floors that
employ natural materials can perform just as well as
synthetic materials and with the many advantages
that using nature’s renewable and safe resources
brings.”
