Eco Chic with Flordeco : New Amorim collection

Brand new products are entering the Flordeco stores, and we are proud to present the new Amorim Collection. Carbon neutral cork products are added to our in-store selection and here is everything you need to know about these new products.

What is cork?

We all know cork as wine bottle stoppers, but it’s a material with many properties that make it one of the best eco-friendly materials. Cork is natural, it comes from the bark of the cork oak tree. It is considered a natural material because no tree is cut or damaged during its production. Obtaining cork is done by stripping, that means that the bark of the cork oak is removed, it is then used and transformed to create the cork products that we know. The cork oak bark regenerated every nine years so the same process can be done again without affecting the environment. In addition to wine bottle stoppers, cork is also used as construction material, decoration, design, and flooring.

What are the Amorim Collection products?

Two series of cork from the Amorim Collection are now part of the products sold at Flordeco. The Wicanders and the Amorim Wise, two interesting carbon neutral flooring series, each bringing its own characteristics. Contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases while keeping a fabulous look, that’s being Eco chic with Flordeco! Let us demystify these new products that are worth knowing.
