| | Cork (material) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Cork's elasticity combined with its near-impermeability makes it suitable as a material for bottle stoppers, especially for wine bottles. | | | Cork demand has increased due to a larger proportion of wine being sealed with cork rather than being sold in bulk. | | | They provide more than 80% of the world's cork, of which two-thirds is used for wine and champagne stoppers. |

| | What is Cork |
| | Natural cork is used as the cork closure since it allows the wine to "live" and mature in the bottle. | | | Cork, known primarily for its use as bottle stoppers, comes from the bark (suberose parenchyma) of the cork oak. | | | They can also be branded or printed with the bottler's name and logo. |

| | WE Cork Flooring from Longleaf Lumber |
| | After corks for wine bottles are removed from the bark, the remaining material is ground up, bound with urethane binders and molded to obtain the desired density under pressure and heat. | | | If possible, particularly with the floating floor, it is best to add additional coats of water-based polyurethane over the years instead of refinishing. | | | - The top surface layer is 100% prefinished cork with three coats of non-VOC varnish. |

| | Cork and the cork oak system |
| | Cork stoppers meant that wines could be efficiently stored for long periods of time and transported over great distances. | | | But in the second half of the seventeenth century, a French monk named Perignon disovered the special qualities of cork for wine sealing and a new era began for Quercus suber. | | | This led to the development of the wine industry in a way that otherwise might never have been possible. |
