FIRST. FOREMOST. ALWAYS. TORLYS AND CORK.Cork floors have long been cherished for their striking looks, and natural warmth and comfort. Today, TORLYS smart floors has built on its momentum as the leader in cork floors to offer the largest selection ever of bold new styles and product innovations.

STARTS BEAUTIFUL – DESIGNER STYLEDNew distinctive collections have been designed specially for TORLYS by a select group of interior designers. The new styling includes on-trend colours, thicker planks and now they are available in first-ever, extra-long planks measuring almost 6 ft. You’ll find what you’re looking for here in stunning collections, in colours and textures that will be a natural delight for any space.

FEELS GOOD – QUIET, WARM, AND COMFORTABLE Composed of millions of tiny cellular air pockets, cork is an extraordinary insulator, quiet, warm and exceptionally comfortable to walk on. Cork reduces

heat loss in rooms, helping to maintain a pleasant indoor temperature - never too hot or too cool.

STAYS BEAUTIFUL – WITH TORLYS SMART FINISHThe new, extremely durable TORLYS smart finish has been integrated into every TORLYS cork floor. This innovative finish is 50% more durable than past finishes, making it the strongest, most environmentally-friendly and durable finish we have ever created. Your cork floor will look amazing for years to come.

FIRST FSC® CERTIFIED CORK FLOORTORLYS is the first to offer an entire cork collection that is FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) certified. We achieved this recognition by passing the rigorous standards established by the Forest Stewardship Council®. It is good to know the wood and cork used in manufacturing comes from sustainably managed forests. Also, the CorkPlus™ attached underlay with Microban® antimicrobial protection provides added warmth, comfort, quiet and eco-friendliness.

EFLOORS FOR A BETTER WORLD.

Cork is recognized worldwide as a floor with unsurpassed environmental advantages. TORLYS has long been an innovator in cork flooring, continuously rethinking every aspect – from renewable resource forestry to re-useable design.

TORLYS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

“We reduce the amount of resources needed to make our products. We re-use cork, leather and wood in our floors and offer floors that are FSC® Certified from managed forests. We even encourage customers to re-use or re-purpose their TORLYS floors. At TORLYS, we’re inspired by nature in our journey to create a smaller footprint. We urge you to rethink the way you look at flooring too.”

~ Peter Barretto, CEO and President

FIRST AND ONLYTORLYS is the first to offer an entire cork collection that is FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) certified. We achieved this certification by passing the rigorous standards established by the Forest Stewardship Council.

RENEWABLECork floors are made without cutting down cork oak trees. Cork bark is carefully harvested, once every nine years, in a centuries-old tradition with hand tools, a process ensuring that forests will remain undamaged. It is not unusual to have a 200 year-old tree still producing cork bark.

HEALTHY HOMEAll TORLYS smart floors and underlays are CARB compliant and meet the VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) requirements set by the European Norm EN 13986 (Class E1), and California Section 01350 Indoor Air Quality Standard, one of the most stringent in the world. Cork is hypo-allergenic and insect resistant. Mites and even termites are repelled due to a naturally occurring substance in cork called Suberin.

LEED®TORLYS smart floors contribute to LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) in three areas – materials and resources, indoor environmental quality and innovation and design.

DURABLEAll our cork floors are made with a precisely engineered high-density wood TORLYS smart core, which is more dent resistant than other floors. All TORLYS smart floors include the patented Uniclic® joint technology, for the toughest joint and the most exacting fit. For repairs, removing a plank is easy – even if it’s in the middle of the floor – using the patented TORLYS Bulldog™ Easy Plank Replacer.

CORKPLUS™ UNDERLAYTORLYS Cork floors are backed with CorkPlus™ attached underlay, made of recycled cork, for added warmth, comfort and sound insulation. Only TORLYS takes this extra step in creating a thoroughly environmental cork floor.

REPURPOSEEvery TORLYS smart floor can be disassembled and re-purposed in another room or home. You can even donate it to a Habitat for Humanity® ReStore.

CORK MAINTENANCE

Keep your TORLYS smart floor looking beautiful• Dust mop (with a non-treated, clean

mop) or vacuum regularly to remove loose soil and wipe up spills quickly with cloth or sponge.

• Clean as required with TORLYS Natural Glow Eco-Friendly Cleaning Kit.

• Only use TORLYS maintenance products. Never use wet mops, highly acidic or alkaline cleaners, non-recommended commercial cleaners or polishes, or a treated mop that has been used to clean other floors or furniture.

• Use floor-protector pads on furniture feet. Protect your floor from hard castors on moveable furniture.

• Use caution when wearing high heels as they can dent cork. Keep your pet’s nails trimmed.

• Use entry-way (non-skid cotton) mats to capture tracked-in-dirt and soil, and clean them regularly. Rubber or fiber-backed mats may stain or scratch floor finish.

Maintain Humidity in Your HomeTORLYS smart floors are natural products. Use a humidifier or dehumidifier to regulate humidity (30 – 60%) and minimize expansion and contraction. This is required to preserve your floor.

TORLYS Natural Glow® Eco Friendly Cleaning KitTORLYS recommends Natural Glow® for easy maintenance. It’s bio-degradable (with no VOCs), fragrance free, easy on the environment, and makes every TORLYS cork floor spotless. Clean your floor as required with this easy-to-use-kit.

Can I put TORLYS Cork floors anywhere in my house?TORLYS Cork floors are an engineered product, well-suited for installation below grade, over radiant heated sub floors, over concrete and even over some existing floors. TORLYS CorkPlus™ attached underlay is included in your floor, but depending on the application, different underlays and vapour barrier may be required. Ask your local TORLYS dealer for more information on different applications and what you may require. Check details at: www.torlys.com/installation.

Should I expect shade variation in my TORLYS Cork floors? Yes. Variation of shade and grain are characteristic of cork floors. Because cork is a natural material, no two planks are alike, which adds to its beauty. Some colour and shade variation should be expected. Always work from several boxes at the same time and shuffle planks for the best visual appearance. Colour variation as an integral part of cork’s inspiring beauty.

Does cork flooring fade with exposure to sunlight?Cork, like all natural products, has a distinctive natural colouring that will age over time and lighten if installed near direct sunlight. Ensure you have the proper window coverings to diffuse direct sunlight on your cork floor.

What is the TORLYS Bulldog™ Easy Plank Replacer?Only TORLYS offers you the Bulldog, a tool that allows you to repair any plank in your floor, even if it’s in the middle of your room, with no power tools and little dust or noise. Ask your TORLYS retailer for details.

Are TORLYS Cork floors difficult to maintain?TORLYS Cork requires the same maintenance as all other TORLYS smart floors. Simply vacuum or sweep your floors on a regular basis. Clean as required with TORLYS Natural Glow™ Eco-Friendly Cleaning Kit.

How do I keep my TORLYS Cork floor looking new?It can be years before the natural beauty of your Cork floor will need to be rejuvenated. As soon as a wear pattern is visible, simply apply TORLYS Dressing. NOTE: Do not apply TORLYS Dressing on new floors.

Can I install TORLYS Cork Floors myself?TORLYS Cork includes the patented Uniclic® joint, a nail-free joint technology that ensures a great-looking floor and makes installation easy. All you need is a saw, hammer, installation kit, tape measure, pencil and some time to install your floor. Or you could also use a professional installer. Ask your local TORLYS dealer for more details on installation.

What is the TORLYS Trade-in Value?The TORLYS Trade-In Value is an innovative new program – the first of its kind! Years down the road when you want to change your floor, TORLYS will provide you up to 20% of the original purchase price of your old TORLYS floor. Register your warranty for your new floor. For more information and to register your warranty visit www.torlys.com.

What is the 30/30, 30/60, 30/90 Satisfaction Guarantee?
