Non-Slip Hardwood Floors
Accidents can easily be prevented with the right surface. In places with a higher risk factor like the kitchen and outdoors, it is essential to choose the right surface. In terms of hardwood choices, one of the best flooring is cork.
Cork floors are made from the bark of the cork oak tree which is first grounded then processed into layers. It is then baked and sliced into tiles for both residential and commercial purposes. It is considered a “green” floor type since only the bark of the tree is used and the tree is left standing. The trees are prominent in Spain, Portugal and Tunisia and can live up to 800 years. The bark itself grows back every ten years, making it a fully renewable resource.
It has a natural wax material inside of it which helps to repel bugs, germs and mold which is an excellent choice for those plagued by allergy symptoms. Cork floors are long-lasting and can handle everyday wear and tear.
Non-slip floors do not have be unattractive. There are many beautiful choices for you to choose from to keep you safe from slips and falls. Explore each of the choices to find the one that meets your decorating style. You can combine both safety and beauty.
