Cork is surprisingly durable and resists compression. When sealed and finished properly, it performs well in busy environments such as living rooms, offices, cafés, and commercial spaces.

Cork may slightly darken or lighten when exposed to direct sunlight over long periods. UV-protective finishes can help maintain its natural color.
