DuroDesign: a green cork flooring supplier

In a previous gwg article, we discussed the 10 must knows regarding cork flooring.  Now to find suppliers near our readers.  Within a week of emailing DuroDesign, I received cork samples and information.  In fact, they sent me samples in each of their six collections and 54 colors.

When the samples were opened, my husband and I poured over the options and were immediately impressed with DuroDesign’s cork line.  Recently, we’ve decided to use cork throughout our future home, except the great room, (unless I convince him to use an area rug).  We found it difficult to choose a favorite, so it appears we will have a few different schemes going throughout our home.

One of the reasons we would choose DuroDesign is because their cork tiles and uniclick panels are pre-finished with water-based polyurethane sealants.  Just because it is a cork floor, doesn’t mean it is necessarily green.  DuroDesign’s water-based finish assures that the cork floor is still green.  When you order their product, the price includes enough water-base polyurethane for 4 additional coats (the stain lasts approximately 4 years), as well as a special lambs wool applicator & instructions for stain re-application, and stain for touch-ups.

Another reason I would choose DuroDesign, is that despite the collection or color I choose, the price remains constant.  The only variable is how many square feet are needed.  For example, on the price list effective August 2008:

Under 50 square feet = $10/sf
51-200 sf = $8.50/sq
Over 200 sf = $6.50/sf

When remodeling DIY style or even when hiring a contractor or sub, it is crucial to know how much you’re spending on each material.  DuroDesign makes this a reality and even helps you calculate how many boxes you’ll need and how much each will weigh.
