The Essence line also features Wicanders' unique engineered multilayer structure.  Their state-of-the-art Corktech technology combined with the natural properties of cork provides you with all the benefits that distinguish the Wicanders' products such as walking comfort, noise reduction, and impact resistance.

With Wicanders Cork ESSENCE line, you'll find a cork floor created for those who require a protective surface with exceptional strength and durability for high traffic areas in the home.

Healthy, Low Maintenance Protective Finish

The Cork ESSENCE line is prefinished with a non-toxic, low maintenance Xtramatt varnish based on a ceramic compound. No more refinishing like urethane finished cork floors! It provides the floor with a ZERO-VOC resistance without harmful additives that fits the most demanding needs of your home as well as commercial areas with moderate traffic.

The eco-friendly finish carries a 15-year residential warranty and a 5-year commercial warranty.

Plus, Wicanders' 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

The improved Wicanders 2G Corkloc® floating floor system makes installing their cork floors easier than ever and requires no glue.  If you're looking for a simple DIY installation, the glueless "click" floating cork floor is a perfect fit.

Corktech Benefits - Natural Comfort and Durability

Wicanders' Corktech technology combined with the unique natural properties of cork, provides a higher standard of flooring. It's really the perfect match between beauty, comfort and durability. 

Corktech uses 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 superior comfort, step sound reduction and warmth.  The cork veneer, or decorative cork layer that's available in a variety of colors and patterns, is protected by the highly resistant finish.

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.
