EPI Superbase Cortica utilises the same build up as other Superbase systems, giving you a reliable and robust floor that will be perfect for any space. The cork aggregate is the perfect way to create carbon negative floors. The cork aggregate is created from the bark of cork trees, which can create a 25-30 year harvest from just one plant. This means that the product is incredibly sustainable due to the low impact that this product has on the environment. The product becomes carbon negative due to the CO2 sequestration that the cork oak forests have on the environment. So if you are looking for carbon negative floors, this is the perfect place to look!

These carbon negative floors aren’t just sustainable, they look great too! The cork aggregate adds great visual texture to the floor when it is mixed into the resin base, meaning that it is perfect for creating a subtle impact on the space. The warmth of the aggregate can help make a space feel much more homely. Additionally, the cork adds some extra comfort underfoot, which works perfectly with the already incredibly comfortable properties that resin floors already have!
