A Cork Project from Beginning to End

I was in the EU this past year and watched a run of flooring coming off the production lines of Westhollow cork. Then I saw the same pattern installed in some photos and I wanted to share this front to back story. Those photos are here:

As you can see from the photos above the production process is highly automated and I photoed just a couple of the MANY quality control points. It is a great factory.

The photos below show a completed job in Tuscon, Arizona completed and photographed by Stephen Perrera. You can see the incredible detail work by the curved tile which is a key indicator of professional attention to detail. A masterful job to be sure!
