Cork Flooring Ontario

Cork flooring across Ontario

Cork is the warmest and quietest floor we ship to Ontario. It comes from the bark of the cork oak, which grows back after harvest, and its sealed air cells are what make it soft underfoot, warm in winter and good at absorbing sound. We deliver cork from Europlex to Toronto, Mississauga, Ottawa, Hamilton, Brampton, Kitchener, London, Barrie, Oshawa and the rest of Ontario, from $1.09 to $1.69 per sq ft.

Why cork suits Ontario homes

• Condo sound rules: Toronto and Ottawa buildings usually require an IIC rating before a hard floor goes down. Cork absorbs impact sound, which helps the assembly meet the number.
• Cold winters: cork does not feel cold the way tile or concrete does, so it suits basements, bedrooms and finished lower levels.
• Dry heated air: keep indoor humidity in the range on the product page during winter heating, the same as you would for a wood floor.
• Older homes: cork tiles glue down over flat plywood or concrete, which works well in century homes once the subfloor has been levelled.

Glue-down or floating

Glue-down cork tiles are thin, very stable and the usual choice over concrete slabs and in commercial rooms. Floating cork planks click together over an underlay and install faster, which suits rentals and rooms where you may want to lift the floor later.

Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver cork flooring to Toronto and Ottawa?
Yes. Cork ships by freight from our Burnaby, BC location to Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Hamilton and addresses across Ontario.

Is cork allowed in Toronto condos?
Usually yes, and its sound absorption helps meet the IIC rating most buildings require. Check your condo declaration and rules before ordering.

Is cork flooring warm in winter?
Yes. The air cells in cork insulate, so the floor feels noticeably warmer underfoot than tile or concrete in an Ontario winter.

Can cork go in a basement?
Yes, over a dry, flat and level slab. Use a moisture barrier or a moisture-tolerant adhesive, and keep basement humidity controlled.
