Description

Why Cork Tiles Are Safe for Bathrooms (And Click Cork Isn't)

This is one of the most common questions we get, and it's worth explaining clearly.

Click cork flooring — including our EarthTone Click and Montano ranges — has an HDF (high density fibreboard) core that gives the planks their rigidity and makes the click-fit system work.

HDF can be vulnerable to swelling when exposed to sustained moisture or humidity, which is why click cork isn't recommended for bathrooms.

EarthTone Elements are different. They're made from pure cork throughout — no HDF, no composite layers. Cork is naturally moisture tolerant, and because there's no HDF to swell, these tiles can be used safely in bathrooms, en-suites, kitchens and utility rooms.

They're glued directly to the subfloor, creating a solid, stable installation that won't lift or buckle in humid conditions.

If you've been told cork flooring isn't suitable for bathrooms, that's true of click cork — but not of pure cork glue-down tiles like EarthTone Elements.

Coordinates With EarthTone Click — Perfect for Open-Plan Spaces

One of the most practical features of EarthTone Elements is that many of its colours are designed to coordinate with our EarthTone Click range. This makes them ideal for open-plan kitchen-diners and living spaces where a continuous look is important but different flooring types are needed in different zones.

For example, you can run EarthTone Click through your living and dining area, then transition into EarthTone Elements in the kitchen or bathroom — with matching or complementary colours creating a seamless, cohesive feel throughout.

It's a genuinely elegant solution that's difficult to achieve with most other flooring types.

Large Format Tiles for a Contemporary Look

At 600 x 300mm, EarthTone Elements are considerably larger than our standard EarthTone square tiles (300 x 300mm). The larger format creates a more contemporary, open feel — fewer join lines, a cleaner aesthetic, and a look that works particularly well in modern kitchens and bathrooms.

If you prefer the traditional square tile format, our EarthTone Glue Down tiles offer the same moisture tolerance in a classic 300 x 300mm size.

Is EarthTone Elements Compatible With Underfloor Heating?

Yes — EarthTone Elements work well with underfloor heating. Cork's natural thermal insulation properties make it an efficient pairing with underfloor heating systems.

Follow standard acclimatisation guidelines and ensure the subfloor temperature stays within the limits recommended by your underfloor heating manufacturer.

Installation

EarthTone Elements are installed by gluing directly to a prepared subfloor. The subfloor must be smooth, level, dry and free from dust and grease before installation begins.

We recommend Wakol D3540 adhesive for installation and Lobadur Easyfinish as the sealing varnish —
applying 1–2 coats to pre-finished tiles, or 3-4 coats to unfinished tiles.

Allow a minimum of 24 hours drying time after installation before applying varnish. Full installation instructions are included with every order.

Good size and quick post
I will be placing an order

Thank you for the three samples it was a difficult choice they are all beautiful. The bathroom renovation team will be placing their order for Breeze in due course

Peta J.

Useful sample, efficient service

Bob H.

So pleased with this product and will hopefully be using for another project too. Also cut up the offcuts for coasters which look amazing!!

Beth

Quality of the carpet sample is very good and looks nice.

Jason

The staff are very responsive, helpful and informative and I've only had good experiences with them. They know their stuff.

James R.

Joe at Flooring By Nature was extremely helpful & knowledgeable about their products. He was able to explain the relative environmental impact of a range of products, and his experience & assistance was essential in deciding exactly what items we needed for our job.

David Q.

Thank you so much to Joe at Natural flooring for making my bespoke herringbone Cumbrian weave rug. I am delighted with it I would highly recommend this company for service, value and delivery of a high quality product. Excellent!

Mandy

Fantastic

Emma A.

Very excited to receive my samples so promptly I love the quality and SO support our wonderful Cumbrian heritage breed sheep! I am researching a local fitter to get measured up for ordering- can’t wait!

Debra B.

Great service from this Company and my underlay was delivered very quickly 👍 Great quality product too 👍 We purchased the"Springbond underlay" as it was recommended by Allergy UK. It is made using hypo-allergenic fibres, without the use of additional toxic chemicals and solvents that give off V.O.C's. This was very important to me, as 2 weeks prior we had purchased underlay for our bedroom, from another provider and it DID give off toxic VOC's. I was almost hospitalised, as I awoke in the night struggling to breathe! This was the first time I had experienced this with my health. I would definitely recommend this Company, all round Great Service at a good price too 👍 My only recommendation, would be to include the following details in the product description: -the fact that it is anti-microbial, contains hypoallergenic fibres and that no additional toxic chemicals or solvents are used in its manufacture. -the product is innovative and has been awarded Allergy UK’s prestigious Seal of Approval after undergoing rigorous scientific testing. -SpringBond is the first floor covering underlay to achieve the Allergy UK Seal of Approval. This allows people who suffer from dust, dust mite allergies and struggle with harmful indoor pollution to confidently choose an underlay that helps them reduce allergens in their home. -this SpringBond product contains no polyurethane foam, so there are no harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds), meaning users also benefit from better air quality wherever it’s fitted. It's a lot to say! But when you suffer from these allergies it is so important, especially when it affects your health. Also, I initially found this product was hard to find for sale. If it's hypoallergenic benefits/ no VOC's had been detailed, that may have made it easier. Thanks again 😀

Jane S.

The cork planks make a fantastic new floor in our two bathrooms that are warm underfoot and look like marble or limestone flooring. It was easily laid in our Georgian townhouse over the existing timber boards with the separating cork layer and the overall product is not only great practically and visually but also environmentally. Flooring by Nature provided an excellent service and assisted in the suitable selection Will be using again in due course that is the ultimate recommendation.

Jeremy B.

Fantastic company - brilliant advice from Joe, who took time to answer all of my questions about the flooring, especially the carbon footprint and suitability for those with allergies. The flooring arrived promptly and is extremely high quality, and I would highly recommend this company who genuinely care about their customers and the environment - thanks Joe and team.

M S.

Very helpful company who went the extra mile, even on a remnant. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a natural carpet!

josh f.

Spoke with Joe, Very helpful and knowledgeable, We are a SEN School and need information on some flooring requirements, Joe talked me through what they could and couldn't do for which is very helpful and refreshing. We wanted to ensure we were being ethical in terms of carbon foot print and sustainability and Joe explained that as a company they try to provide options that such as natural fibres and products that do not cause problems in the environment. This was really good to know as some of our students have sensory needs as well as allergies. Thank you Joe for your time and professionality.
