Wicanders Cork Resist+ - Novel Brick Drill
The high performance surface more commonly known as HPS has been developed to provide improved scratch, slip, scuff and stain resistance in comparison to the standard WRT finish found in our Cork Essence range.
Every tile is manufactured from three cork layers each utilising the unique natural properties of cork. The first lay is an integrated cork underlay, this provides thermal and acoustic properties which result in a quieter environment and energy savings. The second thicker layer of agglomerated cork, provides superior comfort, noise reduction and warmth whilst the final third layer provides the design, offering visuals full of personality and colour from the natural cork veneers.
The unique click system provides a quick to install floor with all of the benefits of cork.
