The beauty and comfort of cork makes it the ultimate green fl ooring material

Duro-design cork is the is the ideal choice for fl oors in prestige residences and commercial buildings

No one offers more advantages than the unique Duro-design cork fl ooring:

- 54 crisp and clear colors available in six patterns give a wide creative choice to amateur or professional designers. Cork tiles can be crafted in all manner of designs- Duro-design’s exclusive staining technology can create cork fl oors in almost any color- Its proprietary MP765 water-base coating system offers clarity, durability, abrasion resistance and low maintenance for decades to come- Cork’s natural resilience makes it easy on legs and is extremely comfortable to walk on- Natural acoustic properties impart a quiet ‘’sound and feel’’ to any room- Unaffected by humidity, Duro-designs cork fl ooring is ideal for spas and similar applications- It is also anti-allergenic and anti-static- Cork is a completely renewable resource harvested as bark from living cork trees for centuries, never harmed by the harvest

Duro-design makes two types of cork fl ooring

Duro-design cork fl oors are available in either glue-down cork tiles or click-together fl oating fl oor planks. Both can go over radiant heating.

Our cork tile fl ooring is easily installed in much the same way as vinyl or resilient fl ooring over smooth concrete or plywood. Duro-design fl oating cork fl oors may be installed directly over an existing fl oor, concrete slabs or construction-grade plywood.

Build green and achieve LEED® certifi cation

- LEED® MR Credit 4.1 and 4.2: Recycled Content- LEED® MR Credit 6: Rapidly Renewable Materials- LEED® EQ Credit 4: Low-Emitting Materials

Durability you can count on

Duro-design cork fl oors are durable for two main reasons :

1. The density of our cork is at least 500 kg / m3, which gives it exceptional indentation recovery from high heels and the weight of heavy objects.

2. Specially engineered for the resilience and buoyancy of cork, our four-coat, on-site MP765™ two-component, water-base urethane is the ultimate fi nishing system.

It possesses all the attributes needed to give the cork fl ooring excellent durability including:

- Super fl exibility to follow the bouncing movement of the cork - Excellent abrasion and chemical resistance - Very sharp optical defi nition to give the cork a beautiful, natural and vibrant look.

The MP765™ water-base urethane is fast-drying and almost negligible of VOC contents. It has a viscosity of about 20 seconds ( Ford cup #4 ) and applies almost effortlessly, like washing a fl oor. What’s more, it completely seals the joints, creating an impermeable fl oor.

It is also very easy to recoat. Just a light screening is necessary before refi nishing the fl oor.

FOR INSTALLATION

Installing a Duro-design cork floor can be accomplished in five easy steps :

1. Ensure that wood or concrete sub-floor is free of imperfections, using Portland self-levelling cement to make any necessary repairs.

2. Apply water-base contact adhesive with short-nap paint roller. Wait 45 minutes for the adhesive to dry. The dry adhesive will reactivate the pre-glued tiles.

3. Lay down the tiles as tightly as possible, compressing them together if necessary so as not to leave any gaps. The tiles are easily cut with a utility knife.

4. After installing a few tiles, apply pressure to the joints with a small melamine roller. Alternatively, wait until the end and go over the entire area with a 100-pound roller.

5. Apply four coats (two-hour interval between coats) of our MP765™ water-base urethane using synthetic lambskin wool supplied.

5

Properly installed and coated with our advanced water-base urethane, a floor made with high density tiles from the Duro-design Cork Flooring Collection is superior in terms of durability and performance to traditional hardwood and linoleum.
