Free Online Educational Course on Cork Flooring

Oct. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Globus Cork Inc is excited to announce a new free online course that gives architects, specifiers, green builders and designers a green continuing education credit (CEU) which can be used towards their industry certification. The course is available through http://www.CorkFloor.com  and http://www.aecdaily.com/en/1649591?tabidx=2  . There is no charge for the course and anyone can take the course at any time.

Cork is the environmentally sound choice for flooring. Globus Cork products will help companies achieve LEED points and meet state and city green requirements. The cork oak tree grown in the Mediterranean is never destroyed to produce cork products. The Cork bark is trimmed  from the tree every 9 years, leaving the forest undamaged as the tree grows more bark.. All the benefits of the living tree remain such as carbon reduction and forest biodiversity while the bark re-grows. Cork used by Globus Cork tiles is a recycled material made from the waste of the wine stopper industry. All finishes, stains and adhesives used by Globus Cork are water-based and eco-friendly.

Cork flooring is valued for its softness, thermal and sound insulation, water and mold resistance, asthma and allergy benefits and even termite resistance. Globus Cork’s tiles are valued for their beautiful colors and extensive design possibilities. Here are some design ideas:  http://youtu.be/XYovtlLS3YY
