Jelinek Cork flooring adds a clean, modern look to the new Focus Lab office space.

Focus Lab, a nationally-recognized branding and web design & development agency, recently expanded its operations in Savannah, Georgia. The new space offers an open concept office design allowing for a collaborative and creative office environment. Jelinek Cork flooring installed throughout the 2500-square-foot space, not only provides a clean, modern look to the office but also helps with sound transmission - helping to absorb some of the noise/acoustics an open office may create. Cork flooring is also more comfortable to stand on as it naturally provides a more forgiving surface. Jelinek Cork enjoyed working with Focus Lab on the creation of their new space.

The many uses of cork: Cork for birds

Cork for wine bottles, cork for bulletin boards, cork for floors but cork for birds?

Yet that is exactly what the Avian Conservation Center at the Center for Birds of Prey in South Carolina uses cork for - their birds. The birds sit on natural cork perches. Cork, being a totally natural product, is healthy for the birds feet and is soft enough not to hurt their feet when they land. The cork perch is safe, stable and comfortable - perfect for the birds.

We've posted previously about another great use of cork for birds. The Albuquerque Biological Park in New Mexico created a special nest log for its Guam Kingfishers. The Kingfishers use cork blocks as their nest log. The cork, being somewhat softer, replicates their natural nests of rotten logs. The cork is easy for the birds to excavate and create their nests.

Another use of cork for birds can be right in your backyard - bird houses made of cork. These natural cork bird houses look nice hanging from trees and give your backyard birds a place to call home.
