This review is from: Wicanders Series 100 Personality with WRT Tea Cork Flooring (Misc.)

We bought Wicander plank cork flooring through a local flooring distributer. We loved the fact that the flooring is from sustainable sources and it looked great in our kitchen. We were sold on Wicander based on the claim of greater durability from their Xtreme WRT overcoating, and were willing to pay a premium to purchase their product. Durability was a major factor for us, as this was a very large investment. About a year and a half after it was installed, we started having problems. Small pits and larger flaking of the top coat started occurring, some going all the way to the underlying cork. While sympathetic and understanding, our local distributer/intaller could not get the regional distributor, or Wicander/Amorin to assist us with the problem. First they ignored us, then they flatly refused to help, stating we must have done something wrong - like damp mopping the floor once a month with water. After much back and forth, the local distributer split the cost of sanding and refinishing the floor with us. So far, so good with the refinishing job, we do love the look but not the added expense. Our overall experience is such we cannot recommend this flooring, the company makes great claims but our experience is that they will not back them up when a problem arises. Maybe some other brands of plank cork flooring are better, but this was supposed to be the best.
