Wicanders Hydrocork with its 1/4″ thickness makes it the ideal choice for renovation projects. Very easy to cut and install, its strong and balanced structure reduces the telegraphing effect due to subfloor irregularities.

Installation is made easy with a new compression system called PressFit. PressFit is a revolutionary compression system that functions like a cork stopper, taking advantage of cork’s natural flexibility, elasticity and compressibility. All you need to do is:
1. Hold the planks side by side.
2. Press down along the joint with the help of a white rubber hammer
When you follow these two easy steps the cork core automatically compresses into the groove and then expands back out to its initial shape, making a tight seal.

Wicanders Hydrocork floors, thanks to the acoustic insulation provided by cork, can  easily  cut  noise  within  and between rooms.Comparing  the  walking  sound  between cork and laminate floors, tests confirm that cork floors have an exceptional result reducing the sound up to 53%. The natural thermal properties of cork make Wicanders floors very energy efficient, providing an optimal temperature all year round. When  testing  foot  temperature  in  contact  with  four different materials, cork floors stand out as being the best solution to retain heat. Better than wood and by far better than vinyl or ceramic when it comes to avoiding cold feet!
