Cork is an excellent choice for environmentally–friendly flooring. Cork is harvested from the bark of the cork-oak tree once every nine years so that it is allowed to rejuvenate. There are in existence trees over two centuries old that are still yielding. Cork flooring tiles and panels are made from the waste collected during the cork wine stopper manufacturing industry which makes cork flooring a purely recycled product.

Globus Cork is located in the Greater New York City area. The company developed its innovative cork products in the 1990s and commenced manufacture in their own factory in 2001. It has harnessed renewable wind power which meets the entire manufacturing energy requirements. Globus Cork has one of the widest selection of colors and designs of any US cork flooring manufacturer today.

Globus Cork's products come in a vast range of sizes and patterns with attractive, original designs. It is available as flooring panels for floating cork floors and as glue–down tiles which come in 25 different shapes and geometric sizes which include squares, hexagonals, triangles and rectangles in a range of 40 colors. Their glue–down cork tiles are backed with a water–based contact adhesive with no off–gassing and no VOCs. This makes Globus cork floor tiles one of the greenest flooring options on the market.

Cork flooring provides probably the best thermal insulation, sound and vibration reduction of any available flooring product on the market. In addition it is soft, elastic and resilient making it comfortable on the feet. Apart from a natural beauty and durability, cork is hypoallergenic, insect repellant and a natural fire retardant.
