Cohousing-L Mailing List: cork flooring

[Mary English (Mary.English]

Trillium Hollow Cohousing  Portland is going to remodel our common dining
room. Would value knowing your experience with cork flooring 
 
Our next door neighbor put in cork flooring. It is very attractive but a much 
more fragile surface than many, and if what you are considering is anything 
like theirs, I would question its ability to stand up to heavy common house use.
 
Regarding you question about dining club considerations, the noise has 
certainly been a factor in several individuals considerations in eating in the 
common house. Any fabric covered surface will deaden sound more than a hard 
surface.
Also consider , table clothes, drapes, fabric print wall hangings, and even old 
carpet on the underside of tables.
