Ant&ocute;nio Amorim, Chairman and CEO of Corticeira Amorim, highlights the importance of this solution: "Hydrocork is a distinctive product with high added value for the flooring industry. This collection responds to the mission of Amorim Revestimentos to ensure a product range aligned with the interior design trends while meeting a number of requirements such as functionality, sustainability and superior technical performance, all enhanced by the use of cork."

With only 6 mm thickness, Hydrocork can be easily cut and applied on top of almost any existing surface, being ideal for renovation projects. The product is ideally suited when existing surfaces such as ceramics require updating. Expensive uplift and floor grinding costs can be eliminated with the installation of Hydrocork.

At the same time, the new PressFit compression system now displayed, allows an easy, quick and effective installation. Taking advantage of cork's properties - elasticity, flexibility and compressibility - the PressFit system functions like a cork stopper, that is, cork planks are easily installed by exerting a slight pressure, which causes the tongue and groove to be put under internal tension, creating a tight seal.

In total, Hydrocork is available in a range of 12 premium wood visuals, that replicate the texture and natural beauty of this high-end material. Available size: 1225 x 145 mm. All Hydrocork products feature a 0.55 mm wear layer and offer a warranty coverage of 15 years for commercial applications and 25 years for residential use.

Wicanders Cork Flooring and Amorim Cork Composite underlays are distributed in Australia and New Zealand by the Ecologic Group.
