It's a renewable resource, has a longer life span, a good sound muffler, and improves air quality. It's very expensive and can be damaged by pets and sun.

Cork flooring is as quiet as carpeting, yet it is much easier to clean. Mites or allergens may hide deep in carpet, but not in cork. It is probably not a good floor in a bathroom or kitchen, because of water issues. Some people find it quite attractive, but others feel it looks institutional.

The pros are if you drop an iron skillet on ceramic tile it could ruin the floor and the cookware. Cork would be easier to stand on for long periods of time. The cons are durability, does it hold up to heavy traffic? Lack of availability and the expense of installation could be a problem too

Cork flooring is a great choice beacuase it is environmentally friendly, however it is more expensive than a lot of other flooring options.
