[Greenbuilding] experience with cork flooring?

[Alan Abrams]

the product I used, by Natural Cork, is a three layer assembly--cork on the
bottom, a resilient composite in the center, and a cork wear layer.  it's
installed over a foam underlayment (cork underlayment is also available).
the factory finish is surprisingly durable, and supposedly is
refinishable.

Veneer products over particle board (clik floors) are a tough one. They are
> designed as disposable products in comparison to traditional flooring
> materials. On the plus side within a factory environment they can be
> efficient with materials (including binders and finishes). They are also
> efficient in terms of site resources (labour, etc.) On the down side they
> typically look like shit in 5 years. Cork tends to look better longer
> because its quite neutral and doesn’t show wear as much.****
