Bamboo flooring offers an environmentally sustainable alternative to more traditional hardwood floors. The bamboo plant reaches full maturiity in 4 to 5 years and once cut will regenerate naturally without the need for replanting. Hardwood forests require 30 to 50 years or more to reach maturity making them less attractive as a sustainable option.

Portugal Cork Flooring Limited has absolute faith in their product – cork flooring.
Portugal Cork Co Ltd, a division of Protective Paints Ltd, has been importing cork tiles and flooring for over 20 years. As well as the traditional cork tiles, Portugal Cork Co Ltd also supplies laminated decorative cork and coloured cork.
Decorative Cork:
Six designs of laminated 5mm cork.
Tiles offering warm styles for that special installation.
Traditional Cork:
A range of heavy density 6mm tiles both natural and pre-finished.
Coloured Cork:
We are able to supply 24 colours in our standard range. All paints, polyurethanes and adhesives are manufactured by Protective Paints Ltd, offering a guaranteed consistency from ONE manufacturer for the total installation. An installation service is available on request.
Choose cork for your home and you’ll experience only advantages, because there are absolutely no disadvantages.
Cork flooring is a natural, waterproof product that will last forever if looked after. It’s quieter than hard flooring so you won’t experience any echoes.
Cork is used between floors in apartment buildings for its sound insulating properties, and that this same benefit applies to individual homes.
Cork is also a natural insulator, keeping your home ultra warm in winter. It also has health benefits. It’s incredibly easy to clean and doesn’t trap dust, or other allergy creating properties.
Even though cork is waterproof, it is sealed with polyurethane to ensure ease of cleaning and to prevent water from seeping around the edges of the tiles.
Cork is ideal for flooring in every room throughout the house, and is especially suited to ‘wet rooms’ such as bathrooms, laundries and toilets.

FLOORING TIPS:
Designing a new look for your home can be daunting. There are so many choices, themes and colours. Some are too boring, too clean, too cluttered, too daring and not just you. Learn how to create a fresh new look that fits with your lifestyle and reflects your personality.
Here are just a few design tips to help kick start your home makeover.
TIP 1: CREATE A FOCAL POINT
Whether it be an armoire, entertainment console, piano or fire place, create a floor plan designed around that piece. It will centre the room. Neutrals always make a great canvas for a room with bold furnishings or other elements that you may want to be the main focal point of your home.
TIP 2: THE FIFTH WALL
The floor is the fifth wall to any room. Dont ignore it! Give your room character and presence by choosing a floor that works with your design.
TIP 3: TILE STYLE
Most tile collections have special tiles for creating designs and decorative borders withen a tile pattern. These options can help you to easily put together an exquisite, detailed look for your home. But what do you do if the tile that you love doesnt have matching trim pieces?
Well, suitable replacement trim tile can usually be found. But dont overlook stone, wood, or metal trim that can also provide a clean finished edge and a uniquely stunning accent to your tile design.
TIP 4: SIZING UP YOUR OPTIONS
Patterned rugs will visually decrease the size of the room because the eye is drawn to the pattern. While solid colour wall to wall carpet will increase the visual size of the room.
TIP 5: COLOUR FOR THE MOOD YOU'RE IN
Aroom that lacks natural light can be warmed by sunny bright yellows, oranges and reds.
Cool colours such as blues and greens can add a serene feeling to a bright room.
Vibrant lively colours are good for family rooms, kitchens and areas of entertainment.
More formal rooms are flattered by elegant palettes of pastel.
Did you know that colour is the biggest decorating decision you can make?
BONUS TIP: COLOUR SELECTION
Colour can have a significant effect on a room . Lighter colours can brighten up an area or enhance a small space. While dark colours can add a cozy, rich, luxurious feel and create a stunning and dramatic look in a room.
Whether you're redecorating completely or simply need a floor to match your existing decor, we'll help you find the perfect floor for the way you live.
