Vegetable oil + cork = Jelinek Cork Comfort Finish Cork Flooring

So what do you get when you take a beautiful cork floor and stain and seal it with natural vegetable oil? Jelinek Cork Comfort Finish cork flooring.

Cork, as you know, is an all natural product. It comes from the bark of the cork oak tree. Cork flooring needs to be finished in order to protect it from daily use. The most eco-friendly floor finish is a natural product -- vegetable oil.



Jelinek Cork's Comfort Finish flooring line can be stained various shades. The stain is also formulated from vegetable oil.

This natural and environmentally friendly surface finish protects the cork floor while maintaining the look and feel of the cork. The finish gives the floor a very soft feeling - some describe it by saying it feels like leather.



Typically, these floors do not need to be recoated - even after years of use. About once a month, the floor needs to be cleaned with a special cleaner which will reapply a small amount of oil to the finish.

So there you have it - cork flooring + vegetable oil = a truly environmentally friendly plus gorgeous floor.
