Zandur Sustain Cork/Rubber

Time-tested resilience. Proven by 20 years of North American specification.

A proprietary blend of recycled cork and vulcanised rubber, manufactured through a process refined over two decades since rubber-cork flooring was first introduced to the North American market. Available in plank and tile across a wide colour range — engineered for commercial briefs where low maintenance, sustainability credentials, and a distinctive natural visual all need to land at once.

Comfortable and Quiet

65% cork content delivers warmth underfoot, resilience that reduces fatigue for staff on their feet all day, and acoustic performance superior to vinyl, solid rubber, and linoleum. Foot-traffic noise is meaningfully reduced through the cork's natural insulating properties — a real benefit in healthcare, education, hospitality, and multi-residential.

Performance in Detail

Slip resistance. The highest available in rubber flooring. Exceeds applicable standards and recommendations, reducing slip-and-fall exposure. If a fall does occur, the product's resilience helps limit injury severity.

Low reflectivity. Surface texture reduces glare — particularly valuable in aged-care and assisted-living environments where vision and orientation matter.

Durability. Through-body construction means patterns and colours don't degrade visually with wear. Backed by a 10-year wear-through warranty.

Acoustic performance. Cork content delivers measurably better footfall sound reduction than vinyl, solid rubber, or linoleum.

Underfoot comfort. 65% cork composition makes the floor warm to touch and resilient — reducing fatigue in any space where people stand for extended periods (kitchens, healthcare, retail, manufacturing).

Maintenance economy. Routine damp-mopping or scrubbing with standard cleaning solutions. No finish required.

Life-cycle cost. Lower annual cost than vinyl or carpet over the product's service life — reasonable upfront cost, minimal maintenance, exceptional durability.

Safety credentials. Meets all US and international standards for fire, smoke, and slip resistance. Anti-microbial. Red List Chemical Free.
