Flooring expansion joints cork strips and liquid sealants

Many of the conventional materials used for expansion joints – such as metal or plastic – often fall short of expectations in terms of durability and appearance. By contrast, selecting cork strips for your parquet expansion joint proves wonderfully practical, delivering not only a robust layer of protection for your floor but also an attractive finishing touch!

I’m sure you’ve got a few questions on your mind, so let us answer them for you.

WHAT IS A CORK EXPANSION JOINT?

A cork expansion joint is used to connect different parts of a floor. Whether you opt for a cork strip designed for parquet expansion joints or a liquid cork mixture, both options let the floor freely contract and expand as temperatures and humidity levels shift. This means that both the strip and the liquid cork help prevent cracks and warping that would otherwise damage your flooring.

WHEN SHOULD YOU USE A CORK STRIP VS. LIQUID CORK?

Choose a cork strip for a parquet expansion joint when installing a new floor or whenever the flooring requires a wider gap for expansion.


On the other hand, liquid cork is an excellent choice for repairing smaller, pre-existing cracks or for places that are awkward to reach, where a traditional cork strip might be tricky to fit.

WHERE CAN YOU INSTALL A CORK EXPANSION JOINT?

Use cork expansion joints wherever different flooring types meet, for instance between wooden floorboards and tiles. It is also a great option for perimeter gaps alongside walls and other fixed interior structures. A dedicated cork strip for parquet joints neatly covers the space while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your home.

SHOULD I LET NATURAL CORK ACCLIMATISE BEFORE USE?

Absolutely. It’s vital to allow natural cork to adapt to the environment in which it will be installed for around 72 hours prior to fitting. This helps the cork adjust to local humidity and temperature, which in turn guards against problems like excessive shrinking or swelling and ensures the lasting durability and appearance of your installed cork strip.

HOW DO I PROPERLY INSTALL A CORK EXPANSION STRIP?

Fitting a cork strip for a parquet expansion joint is straightforward and can usually be done without professional help.


Position the cork strip where different sections of the floor meet, ensuring you leave sufficient room for expansion. A suitable adhesive formulated for cork can then be used to secure the strip in place. After installation, you may paint or varnish the cork, adding an extra layer of protection and helping it blend seamlessly with your interior design.

Cork expansion joints bolster your floor’s resilience against moisture and provide excellent insulation, making the floor more comfortable underfoot. With its inherent elasticity, cork effectively absorbs any stress placed on the floor, thus safeguarding it from damage and prolonging its lifespan.


Cork expansion joints aren’t just ideal for those who value stylish finishes—they’re also great for allergy sufferers. As the cork used for parquet joints is antistatic, it doesn’t attract dust, thereby improving indoor air quality.


Cork expansion joints are eco-friendly as well. The cork is sourced sustainably, without felling trees, and is completely biodegradable. If you want your new floor to be visually appealing, durable, and kind to the environment, our cork expansion system is the perfect choice.


Even if you’re new to DIY projects, you can apply liquid cork sealant (like Bostik 3070) quickly and with minimal mess.
