NICOLINE 5mm Sealed Cork Floor Tiles (0.80m2), Natural, 3/16-SL/F

I ordered these to make my own noticeboard/vision board for my kitchen. I am over the moon with it.The tiles are strong and sturdy for cork so i imagine they would be great for flooring but they are also great to make your own noticeboard if you want to lol

For the first time I chose the self adhesive tile. I wouldn't do that again as it doesn't stick well enough around the edges even with a weight put on it although whether self adhesive or not the actual product is excellent.. Needed to add a liquid cork tile adhesive a couple of months later to keep it all flat. Have gone back to non self adhesive, its a bit more fiddly but if you select a good cork tile adhesive the end result is more robust even if its a bit messier and time consuming. Yes I did make sure the floor it was laid on was perfectly clean, it was brand new wiped down marine plywood!

being thicker than the normal cork tile, these give a springy feel to the floor when you walk on it, nice and warm too if you walk bare foot. Easy to cut and lay. You do need to leave them out of the wrapping for a couple of days prior otherwise they will curl (but that's fairly obvious really as they are tight packaged and a natural product) and i think shuffling them a bit keeps the colour variety better, but that's a personal opinion. very pleased with them

Used as a background/display board and mirror surround, in my calming Emotional Literacy Support space, as it has a sand type texture and look to it, which is why I chose it, great for my small beach cove themed space. Helped bring all the elements of the space together, was easy to cut to size, but not as easy to stick...spray adhesive worked best. Would recommend and purchase again.

It's what I wanted and I'm pleased with the outcome. These 5mm cork tiles are (obviously) better than the 3mm ones, for just a little more cash. I had forgotten how particular laying cork tiles can be. It took me quite a few days to get it right. I eventually ended up placing a small wight in the corner of each tile to be sure that they did not rise up. You need the right spreading tool, I got mine from Screwfix. And a rolling pin from the Grange. I used Evo-Stik flooring adhesive, 2.5L. It's dreadful stuff to used sticks to everything, but you get used to it. Only doing what you can deal with at any one time and furiously washing your tools after before the glue goes off. And forget about the statement on the tub:10m2. I used 4 times the amount, but then I'm not a professional skilled worker just somebody too mean to employ one. I was going to do most of the house but I'm scaling back to the kitchen and hall. Laminate tiles I think will be much easier.

A good thickness and price

Went for these as they were thicker than others. Delivery said by 1pm next day but didn’t make that, so don’t plan to do that days as others have said, as they are sealed on one side they tend to lift up at the edges, have taken out of packaging and weighted down before fitting, all adds to the fitting time.

Store for a while BEFORE laying, like nearly all cork tiles they'd rather be curved than flat! Leave for a few days with a good size weight on them to get them perfectly flat...adhesion is excellent when you do this. Good, subtle colour variation tile to tile, good product.
