How is cork carpet made?

Cork carpet is a specialized floor covering produced by combining graded cork granules with polymerized linseed oil. This mixture is homogeneously pigmented and then calendered onto a jute canvas backing.1

Some variations of this material may also incorporate rubber into the composition, resulting in a product that shares similarities with linoleum. While cork-based products are valued for their resilience and sound-absorbing qualities, cork carpet remains limited in its overall application.21
