GRANORTE Cork Flooring and Wall Products

Since their start in 1972, GRANORTE has dedicated their attention to product research and development, aimed to recycle the cork waste from the wine cork stoppers manufacturing industry. As a result, they now have innovative production processes, technical excellence, and significant knowledge in cork. This innovation, skill, and knowledge has allowed them to develop into an expanding producer of technical solutions using cork materials. Today, GRANORTE is a leading sustainable flooring manufacturer and a well-known producer of environmentally responsible products.

Summit International Flooring is proud to partner with these industry leaders to create beautiful, durable, and eco-friendly products that fit perfectly within commercial and residential applications. GRANORTE cork flooring is an ideal choice for public and private spaces thanks to the hypoallergenic and durable qualities unique to this flooring material.

GRANORTE cork flooring is ANTIMICROBIAL and ANTIBACTERIAL.

GRANORTE Features

GRANORTE is the only cork supplier to add MICROBAN® to the floating floors. Floating cork flooring does not sit directly on the wood or concrete subfloor, and if moisture permeates that space, it can promote the growth of microbes (fungus). MICROBAN® is added to the bottom of the floating floors to prevent this dangerous problem. Glue-down floors have no need for the Microban®, but are antimicrobial in nature due to the fact that it is made out of cork. No matter what type of flooring you select for a project, you can trust that it will keep your space safe and healthy.

Hypoallergenic: Cork does not absorb dust and, consequently, does not cause allergies nor pose a risk to asthma sufferers. This makes it an ideal choice for commercial and residential properties.
Eco-friendly: Cork is a natural raw material that is 100% biodegradable, recyclable, and renewable. This makes it an ideal choice for anyone trying to create a more sustainable space that is both luxurious and environmentally beneficial.
Insulation: Cork has one of the best insulating capacities, thermal and acoustical, of all-natural substances. This is due to the fact that the gaseous elements are sealed in tiny, impermeable compartments, insulated one from the other by a moisture-resistant material. This makes it an ideal choice for both large and small spaces expecting higher noise levels.
Fire retardant: Cork is a natural fire retardant as it does not spread flames and does not release toxic gases during combustion. This makes it the safest option for any spaces that regularly contain open flames.
Durability: Cork is also remarkably resistant to wear and has a high friction coefficient. Thanks to the honeycomb structure, it is less affected by impact and friction than other hard surfaces. This makes it an ideal choice for any space expecting high foot-traffic volume.

Note: Rubber, plastic, and other “non-breathable” material can migrate into many types of flooring, including cork. Protective coasters are recommended under the feet of furniture or equipment when those feet have a rubber coating. To avoid discoloration, rugs or mats with rubber backings or non-breathable materials should not be left on the floor for long periods.
