My wife and I are considering cork flooring for a kit/dining/living room. We're drawn to
the claimed environmental sustainability of cork, along with its comfort
and texture/appearance.<br><br>I'm interested in informed comments
about cork's "green" credentials, and especially about its durability in
a high traffic area.<br>
<br>Potential for spillage has me worried about using the floating
planks, which are ~.25" of cork glued to a fiberboard (water absorbent!)
core - can the seams be sealed well enough to protect against damaging
moisture intrusion? Alternative appears to be glue-down tiles (on a new
Advantech subfloor). How refinishable/replaceable?<br>
