A Natural Wonder Sustainability is one of the big issues of our time. It touches many aspects of our lives right down to the materials we choose for our homes. No wonder there is a growing demand for materials that are kind to the environment – and cork stands out as a clear number one. Cork is very sustainable as no trees are felled in the process. Cork is harvested by stripping the outer bark of the cork oak, which then re-grows over the next few years. And at the end of the product life cycle, this material is just as eco friendly: Cork is 100% recyclable. Cork is as amazing in ecology as it is in terms of well being: it is warm to the touch, heat and sound insulating, and offers almost limitless design options. There are few other floor coverings that is so durable and easy to maintain as natural cork. A unique combination of tradition and innovation, HARO Cork Floors bring natural well-being and a cheerful cosy atmosphere to your home.

Renewable Quality The raw material we use to manufacture our HARO Cork Floors comes from Portugal, the world’s leading cork producer. The country is famous for its extensive cork oak forests, which have provided this valuable raw material for generations. Cork is harvested by delicate stripping of the tree’s outer bark once every nine to ten years. This natural raw material is then used as the basis for the top layer of HARO Cork Floors. Bark harvesting is an integral part of the husbandry of cork oak 1 forests. The process does not harm the trees – as you can see from old trees whose bark has 2 been harvested a dozen times.

Natural Beauty HARO CORKETT Lagos combines a classical cork design with natural materials and a modern look to produce that very special atmosphere. Available in four attractive colours HARO CORKETT Lagos offers something for every interior style. Whether you choose Lagos Natur or one of the elegant light colours, you will add a vibrant natural touch to every interior design. Good to know: The bark of a cork oak is only harvested once every nine or ten years. That’s the time it takes the tree to re-grow new bark of the quality needed to make our high-grade cork floors. The harvest does not harm the tree in any way. Many old trees have been harvested a dozen times.

The Classics
HARO CORKETT
RONDA NATUR
The Cora, Ronda and Sirio designs are true classics in cork. Featuring different granule sizes, they are first choice wherever a floor covering has to offer more of everything: Take the kitchen or children’s room, for example. There you would want a floor that is not just functional and hard-wearing, but also very natural, warm and comfortable. Good to know: Cork is as elastic as the human skin. No wonder — one piece of cork of the size of a sugar cube contains about 60 million air cells. Maybe that’s why children just love to play on a cork floor? People with allergies or asthma also appreciate cork because it does not collect dust and dirt and literally stays clean down to the pores. Cork Floor 16|17
