For many people, cork used for anything besides bulletin boards and wine stoppers, is hard to imagine. Its understandable as who has ever heard of cork furniture or cork fabric? Even cork flooring, though its been around for decades, still flabbergasts some people. We get many questions at our showrooms about our cork products. For example, "Won't I put a hole in it if I walk on it?" or "Is that cork?". Visitors visiting for the first time are typically amazed and impressed by the products made from cork.
Though the Jelinek Cork headquarters in Oakville, Ontario has had a small showroom for decades, it was only in 2003 that The Cork House in Oakville opened. The Cork House, built in 1816 and restored to its original beauty when purchased by Jelinek, showcases a huge variety of cork products including but certainly not limited to: cork flooring, cork wall & ceiling coverings, cork purses & bags, cork furniture and cork gift items (coasters, placemats, hotpads, etc.).
We would also like to introduce the new retail shop and cork showroom for Korok Jelinek in Bratislava, Slovakia. This showroom opened on March 1, 2008 and is located in one of Bratislava's biggest shopping zones. The address is Roznavska street 1, Bratislava.
These showrooms allow the visitor to "touch & feel" cork products. You can walk on the floors, touch the walls, feel the different textures and see the various colors, styles and patterns. These showrooms also allow you to understand the characteristics and qualities of cork, such as shade variations, and may even provide you with new decor ideas - a sofa made of cork???
