Cork Rigid Core with Built-In Underlayment
The WISE line features an enhanced, strong PVC-FREE CORK RIGID CORE that provides dimensional stabilty without toxic chemicals. You won't find any volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or PVC in WISE cork flooring, unlike most Luxury Vinyl Flooring with rigid or composite cores. The layered construction of WISE also includes a Cork Underlayment for extra performance.Healthy, Low Maintenance Protective SRT Finish
WISE Wood is prefinished with a non-toxic, low maintenance High Resistance Technology (HRT) wear layer. No more refinishing like urethane finished cork floors! It provides the floor with a PVC FREE + ZERO-VOC resistance without harmful additives that's even suitable for heavy commercial projects (so you know it will hold up to the busiest of homes). The eco-friendly finish has an impressive long life span with a residential Lifetime Warranty (covers Structural / Wear / Waterproof) and a 10 Year Commercial Warranty.Plus, WISE cork flooring products are certified under several strict indoor air quality programs such as Greenguard GOLD certification. The certification ensures low chemical emissions in products that are acceptable for use in sensitive environments like schools and healthcare facilities.
Glueless Floating Floor Installation (DIY Install)
The universal 2G locking system requires no glue, which makes installing their cork floors easier than ever and provides extra strong locking performance. If you're looking for a simple DIY installation, the glueless "click" floating cork floor is a perfect fit.

Amorim WISE Cork Engineered Layers - 100% Waterproof, Naturally Comfortable, Resistant and Durable
Amorim's Cork Rigid Core (CRC) technology combined with the unique natural properties of cork, provides a flooring that's a great choice for any room in your home.
WISE consists of an engineered multilayer structure which starts with an insulated cork underlay that reinforces cork's natural thermal and acoustic properties, resulting in a quieter environment and all-important energy cost savings. The compressed (or agglomerated) cork layer provides extra comfort, noise reduction, optimal floor temperature all year round and walking comfort. The wood veneer, or decorative wood layer is available in a variety of colors and textures, is protected by the highly resistant finish.
Climate Positive, Carbon Negative
As a world leader of cork flooring, Amorim feels a responsibility and a mission to not only create sustainable products, but to do so while preserving and protecting the cork oak forests as well as the environment as a whole. SUSTAINABILITY isn't just a buzzword - it's at the core of everything they do. Amorim has reached a CO2 negative footprint, meaning that more carbon is removed from the atmosphere than is added during the production of WISE.
Here are some of the ways they're able to help reduce the global warming potential:
- DURING HARVEST - No trees are cut down or damaged during cork harvesting. Once the cork bark is carefully removed from the trees without harming them, they actually retain 5 times more CO2 from the atmosphere than before the bark was removed.
- DURING PRODUCTION - Any cork waste that occurs from the production of cork bottle stoppers is collected, granulated and compressed to make other products, like cork flooring! And the cork dust is collected and burned to generate energy for the production facilities.
- DURING WISE LIFETIME - Amorim WISE Cork Flooring is produced without PVC and several national and international independent third-party certifications ensure that no harmful particles are present (ZERO VOCs).
WISE Cork Benefits - 100% Waterproof Cork Flooring
Why Cork?
SUSTAINABLE FLOORING
Cork flooring is an incredibly sustainable product. Cork floors are the result of a circular economy model that turns production waste from the cork stopper industry into valuable and sustainable flooring products.
RENEWABLE
Cork is a natural raw material that comes from the bark of the cork oak tree. It's harvested by hand when the tree is 25 years old and every 9 years from then on. No cork trees are damaged or cut during harvesting and the bark regenerates itself after each extraction, making it a near-perfect example of a renewable resource. Cork is also biodegradable and recyclable.
ENDLESS BENEFITS
Why Amorim?
INDOOR AIR QUALITY and ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Besides its performance factors, Amorim WISE is the Best in Class in indoor air quality, ensuring that no harmful particles are present in their flooring products. This status is confirmed by international certifications such as Greenguard Gold, TUV, LEED, BREEAM and the A+ label (French content rating and VOC emission level). In order to achieve these certifications, Amorim WISE products went through rigorous tests on more than 2000 potential chemicals. They also make sure that their processes and products reflect the highest standards in environmental protection and performance:
WISE Waterproof Cork Flooring Installation and Maintenance
How to Install your WISE Cork Flooring
The WISE 2G Universal Installation floating floor system makes installing WISE flooring easy.
Here are some other things to know about installing WISE Wood or Cork Floors:
- BE SURE TO ACCLIMATE - packaged planks should be acclimated at the job site in a dry, well-ventilated area for a minimum of 24 hours at a temperature between 65º F and 82º F.
- MINIMAL SUBFLOOR PREP - WISE Wood can be installed on top of existing hard surfaces, avoiding the need to remove the existing floor (never install WISE on top of carpet, carpet tiles, or other soft floors).
- DIMENSIONALLY STABLE - the Cork Rigid Core provides reinforced dimensional stability so that it can be installed in very large areas (up to 3,200 square feet) without the need for transition strips.
- An INTEGRATED CORK UNDERLAYMENT is included for extra comfort
- VERY LITTLE VISUAL REPETITION - The WISE Wood look pattern repeats every 9 planks, but then the pattern is offset when it's repeated. So you're not going to notice it as you do with other resilient "wood look" flooring.

How to Maintain Your WISE Cork Flooring
Amorim WISE Cork floors are a cinch to maintain. Simply sweep up any debris or loose dirt with a broom or a vacuum before wiping the floor with a mop. For general spills, you can also use a broom handle with a cloth at the end. For deeper cleaning, use a mild pH-neutral cleaner.

How to Repair Your Amorim WISE 2G Floating Floor
