The Wood Natural range by Wicanders – the flooring brand of Amorim Cork Solutions - is a cork flooring solution that combines the authentic look of wood with superior technical performance, positioning itself as a high-performance alternative to traditional floating floors.
In a context where comfort, efficiency, and sustainability play a central role in the choice of materials, the Wood Natural range stands out due to cork’s unique properties, offering a better experience for the consumer, in both residential and commercial spaces.
Among the key benefits is noise reduction of up to 38% inside the room*, contributing to quieter and more comfortable environments. At the same time, perceived noise in the floor below is reduced by up to 15 dB ΔLw (ISO 717-2:2020) and 21 ΔIIC (ASTM E2179-21 and ASTM E989-21), enhancing overall acoustic performance - a particularly important feature in multi-family buildings and high-traffic areas.
Thermal comfort is another distinctive factor. Cork provides a neutral thermal sensation by quickly adapting to the temperature of the foot whenever walking barefoot, in less than a minute of contact – thereby offering a more pleasant experience than other flooring materials. The Wood Natural range also includes a built-in cork underlay, which offers additional benefits.
In terms of durability and strength, the flooring features a protective HRT (High Resistance Technology) layer, ensuring high wear resistance, stability and long-lasting appearance.
Digital printing technology on cork (EIR - Embossed in Register) provides ultra-realistic wood visuals, combining aesthetics and performance, without undermining quality. This delivers the best of both worlds: the look of wood combined with the excellent technical performance of cork.
Sustainability is also a central pillar of this solution, since incorporation of cork, a natural and renewable material, helps reduce the carbon footprint.
Certified according to strict emission standards for VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), the flooring’s performance is further recognized by leading eco-labels, such as Blue Angel (DE UZ 176), French A+ classification, Finnish M1, Nordic Swan Ecolabel, GREENGUARD, Declare, and Health Product Declaration (HPD).
More than just a sustainable product, the Wood Natural range is a strategic choice for responsible construction projects. The respective certifications make a direct contribution to LEED- and BREEAM-certified buildings, adding environmental, technical, and economic value to the project.
The Wood Natural range is thereby able to surpass the aesthetics of wood, offering a flooring solution that combines comfort, technical performance and sustainability, positioning cork as the superior choice for demanding contemporary projects.
