Jelinek Cork booth at the Green Living Show

Back in April, we exhibited our products at the Green Living Show in Toronto, Ontario. What a great weekend! All of us at Jelinek Cork are passionate about cork and its many, many benefits therefore, we love to talk about it. So all weekend long, that's what we did - talk about cork! Feel free to visit our website or contact us if you missed us at the show or if you'd like more information about the many uses of cork.

Below are some pictures from the show.

A customer tale - choosing a floor

With flooring, as with all home decor, there are many choices and many things to consider. Below is an email we received from a customer explaining her decision to go with cork flooring as well as her experience with Jelinek Cork...

When deciding upon a new kitchen floor we considered the ecological perspective as well as the aesthetic when making our choice. After many months of looking at “faux” hardwood, matching our existing oak strip flooring throughout the house, bamboo or the cheapest alternative roll flooring to simulate the look of cork. We then decided to visit Jelinek's Cork House in Oakville [Ontario]. That was it, our decision was made. We found Santiago Select Line, a perfect solution that tied our kitchen look together and was eco-friendly. When Aimilios, Jelinek’s installer, came to measure and discuss the project we were very impressed with him and asked specifically that he do the work. Amilios is a craftsman, not an installer, and he did a marvelous job of cutting around all the nooks and crannies of our 1960’s kitchen, working cleanly and carefully. He came when he said he would, cleaned up the site each evening and finished when promised. We have been telling our friends and showing off our wonderful floor as we enjoy it every day.

Thanks again for a great job, well done.
