One thing which wasn't mentioned was 'walking experience'. Because of it's cellular nature, with billions of tiny air pockets that make it up, it absorbs the impact of footfalls. This springy-ness adds a certain comfort level. And of course going further, this impact resistance makes it a great choice for a playroom for kids, or even retirement homes, both places being areas where you want to minimize impact due to falls. The only thing I've noticed with some cork flooring is that it dents pretty easily over the long term. So, it makes sense to take extra care in adding felt sliders to furniture legs. But, you'd do this with any wood-based floor choice. Thanks as always for the post!
