We have cork on the main passage way from the front door to the mail  
boxes and it has help very well except where it was damaged by a  
package deliverer's hand cart which almost any floor. But it has held  
up for foot traffic, daily UPS deliveries of many boxes, and small  
children's riding toys. And we don't do the annual maintenance another  
poster mentioned.

There may be different grades of cork.
