IN a market dominated by artificial finishes and mass-produced materials, Granorte remains a brand of authenticity and purpose, says the company.

‘Turning a centuries-old natural material into contemporary flooring and wall solutions, Granorte unites heritage craftsmanship with modern innovation. The result is a product that not only performs beautifully but also supports a more sustainable built environment.

‘After more than 17 years serving the UK, Granorte UK Ltd has proven that sustainability and design excellence can work in perfect harmony. With cork’s natural warmth, resilience, and tactile appeal, the company offers more than flooring and wall coverings — it delivers a foundation for healthier, more sustainable spaces.’

Continues the company: ‘Every Granorte product begins with cork — a renewable resource harvested from cork oak trees without cutting them down. Its unique cellular structure provides thermal and acoustic insulation, comfort underfoot, and long-lasting durability.

‘Through advanced production techniques, Granorte enhances these natural qualities, creating surfaces that range from subtle organic finishes to striking contemporary designs that rival wood, stone, and concrete. By repurposing by-products from the cork-stopper industry, Granorte contributes to a truly circular economy and helps architects meet BREEAM and LEED certification standards.’

Adds Granorte: ‘Granorte’s new VINTAGE Floor Planks celebrate the enduring charm of natural cork—combining classic beauty with the comfort and sustainability that define modern living. Designed with eco-conscious living in mind, these cork planks offer the perfect balance of durability, ease of installation and maintenance. Beyond practicality, they deliver exceptional acoustic and thermal benefits, bringing warmth, silence, and comfort.

‘Each plank reflects Granorte’s commitment to craftsmanship and eco-conscious design, offering a floor that’s as elegant as it is responsible. With the variety of rich tones, and soft underfoot feel, Vintage Floor Planks bring classic charm and modern sustainability together in perfect harmony. The design possibilities are endless!’

Beyond aesthetics, Granorte flooring supports human comfort and wellbeing, says the company. ‘Cork’s natural elasticity offers a quiet, cushioned surface underfoot, while low-VOC finishes maintain healthy indoor air quality. The result is flooring that feels as good as it looks — a seamless blend of design, comfort, and environmental care.

In an age where design demands beauty and responsibility, Granorte UK stands as proof that style and sustainability can walk hand-in-hand. Its flooring is more than a surface — it’s a statement of craftsmanship, innovation, and respect for the planet.’

Concludes Granorte: ‘Each Granorte floor is a statement of craftsmanship, innovation, and respect for the planet.’
