One step ahead

A key consideration in designing a commercial interior has to be durability, and nowhere does this matter more than when selecting the floor covering. Which is why, when planning a restaurant, office or retail space, it makes sense to start at the bottom.

When architect Peter Maddison designed the Livebait restaurant in the Melbourne Docklands complex, he required a floor that offered visual and functional flexibility.

"We chose WalkEasy from Comcork Flooring for its acoustic performance and because it is very soft underfoot for staff and customers. It's relatively easy to maintain and we love the colour range, which is particularly suited to the work we do."

Comcork floors consist of natural materials that are recyclable. The main component, cork, is made from recycled wine corks collected by Guides Australia.

Comcork WalkEasy floors are designed to be warm in winter and cool in summer. They also assist in noise reduction, are hard-wearing and non-slip.

Comcork flooring is suitable for all commercial interiors. There are different profiles for specific applications such as walkways and marine use.
