Think about the everyday contact people have with the floors in their
home. Imagine the ground-in debris and hidden organisms living in
carpets, the grit-filled grooves in cold, hard tile, the chemical
fertilizers and moisture contained in hardwood. With Wicanders you can
significantly reduce exposure to unhealthy particles and potentially
dangerous microbes, and eliminate contact with harsh chemical glues and
varnishes.
The unique cellular structure of Wicanders Cork Oak is impenetrable
to moisture, mildew, fungus, dirt, debris, and insects. Each single
cubic centimeter of Cork Oak contains 40 million honeycomb shaped cells.
89.7% of each cell is composed of tightly locked-in air, providing a
secure barrier against moisture, thermal transfer, and unhealthy
particles.
Without the use of any harsh glues or chemical sealants, Wicanders
floors simply and beautifully transform the look and feel of any room.
Cork Oaks’ natural resistance to ground-in dirt, bacteria, and pests,
make it the perfect flooring for kitchens and many other areas of homes
and businesses.
As far as step sound, Wicanders floors reduce the drum sound effect
by up to 10 decibels—more than any other conventional floor covering. In
impact sound reduction, (the noise your downstairs neighbors hear) the
structural composition of natural Cork Oak can reduce noise from up to
20 to 24 decibels. The smooth silence is dramatic. The insulation
properties of natural Cork Oak provide the perfect acoustic solution for
townhomes, apartments, and condominiums. Imagine a peace and silence
that just radiates through the room.
Cozy on bare feet, Wicanders oak flooring engineered gives a sense of organic design
that is friendly to the touch and also saves energy on thermal
transfer. Walking on Wicanders is a truly different experience from any
other flooring. Be tender to your toes and feel the pure warmth of
Wicanders’ natural Cork Oak beneath each step.
