Contemporary Cork Flooring Garden Design Ideas
Corkeen is an incredibly versatile surface material used in playgrounds, patios, pathways, and more. Building this unique and contemporary cork flooring in your project can help transform and modernise the development.
Housing developers and landscape architects often look for a cost-effective, useful, and unique approach to garden design. Corkeen is an aesthetically pleasing, useful, and easy-to-maintain surface that more and more of our clients are choosing.
Improving your Project Sustainability
Contemporary flooring and modern developments go hand-in-hand with sustainability. Corkeen has a certified Carbon Negative Footprint of -10kg CO₂e/m² carbon balance for 40mm thickness. It is therefore the best option for developments aiming to improve eco-friendly credentials while not having to sacrifice quality.
Developers are continually moving towards more recycled or natural materials as sustainability becomes a higher priority for new house buyers. Choosing Corkeen demonstrates a commitment to green development without losing the other benefits of modern surface engineering.
Accessible Pathways and Walkways
The easy application of Corkeen allows our amazing team to help design and install your surfaces in a variety of patterns to customise your pathways across the garden and around buildings. Straight edge pathways for a modern look create visible and striking pathways through grass lawns. Sunken pathways with neat edges also remove trip risks that can arise with some other pathway installations.
Additionally, as a highly water-permeable material, cork flooring helps to reduce the risks of surface water, like puddling and flooding. This improves both the overall safety of the surface and accessibility for wheelchairs and buggies. The flat, stable cork surface has a unique texture that improves grip while avoiding bumps in the path, making it the ideal surface for accessible pathways across grass and ramped areas over uneven ground.
Tell a Modern Colour Story
Natural outdoor areas that look to promote and reflect their eco-friendly status often fall into the trap of only using green or brown colours. The cork-yellow colour of Corkeen provides a contrasting and vibrant option to make your surfaces stand out.
Bringing a bright, Summer aesthetic to a green garden brings more vibrancy and colour to gardens, without overusing high-maintenance materials like plastic crazy paving or natural plants to add colour. In sunlight, the yellow cork reflects light to improve brightness throughout your garden, while at night, pathways are visible to prevent accidents from occurring.
Unique Patio Flooring Ideas
A hard-surface area in the garden for your housing developments is a great addition that makes a huge difference to your properties. Whether you are creating an outdoor space for relaxation and get-togethers or an area safe for sports and play, Corkeen is the right choice.
A section of cork flooring is highly versatile for any patio flooring ideas or mixed-use floor covering. Our team installs Corkeen in sections to create one large flat area with no visible gaps. Any size of hard-surfacing area needed for your garden design
Cork Flooring for Playgrounds
As a naturally shock-absorbent surface, Corkeen is suitable for playground surfacing. Garden play equipment makes a great addition to any family home, but you always need to consider safety. While other playground safety surfacing may look out of place in a private garden, Corkeen’s versatility means that your cork playground can match your garden’s aesthetic while providing great safety to children playing.
