we have floating cork in our kitchen (a concrete framed high rise, with
concrete decks).  it's been down for just over 6 years and looks almost
like it did when it was layed.  then again, no kids on skateboards, no
labradors, and we both cook barefoot.  easy to clean, and
oh-so-comfortable--we sometimes spend all day cooking, baking, cleaning
up...without pain or fatigue.

not recommended if you wear stilleto heels, though.
