Ordering
Standard Glue-Down Tile Sizes:
Colours: Please review our colour offerings before placing your order. Custom colours are available and we charge a development fee of $150 unless your order is greater than 500 sf. There will be variations in the color due to the natural variations in the cork. If you are interested in using one of our patterns or would like to put a border in your room, our sales staff will be happy to assist you in the planning and ordering process.

Calculating Quantities There are some basic rules of thumb in calculating the correct amount of flooring to order. First calculate the square footage. (Need Help?). To do that, measure the length and width of the room, round them up to the closest foot and then multiply them together. If you are going to be placing the tiles so they are parallel with a wall, then you should add 7% extra square footage to your order. If you are going to place your tiles on a diagonal to the walls, then you should add 15-20% extra square footage. This extra is your allowance for cuts you'll need to make, errors and plus a few extras for possible future replacements. Please remember that our custom manufacturing process is a batch process and an exact color match request to your existing cork flooring is difficult. Additionally, you'll have to wait for another production cycle to get the extra tiles. It is much safer to order enough flooring the first time. Beveled Edges: Tiles are manufactured with all 4 sides beveled. The thickness of our tiles is 4 mm or approximately 3/16". The floating floors do not have a top bevel and are roughly 7/16" thick. Our sales staff will be happy to discuss your plans and provide guidance on ordering. 
Distribution: We have a few retailers across the country but we also sell directly to the public as well as to interior designers/architects. If you have a local flooring store that you would like to work through, please ask the store to contact us. Feel free to ask us for color samples before you place your order and we'll be happy to ship them to you.
