Wicanders Wise - Cork Floating Plank - Fashionable Cement 7.5"x48"

Wicanders WISE Cork Inspire Fashionable Cement — 7.5" x 48" Cork Plank

Fashionable Cement is a Wicanders WISE Cork Inspire cork plank with a cement-inspired, grey-leaning color, giving an urban, concrete-like mood while staying soft and warm underfoot. It shares the range's 7 mm PVC-free construction: natural cork veneer, cork inlay, rigid cork core and integrated cork underlay. It is the pick for anyone who loves the polished-concrete look but not the cold, hard floor that comes with it.

Best for: lofts, contemporary kitchens, studios, creative offices and retail spaces aiming for an industrial look with better comfort.

The Look

The Fashionable family takes cork in a more design-forward direction, and Cement is its take on grey concrete: a cool, cement-like color carried by real cork texture. Up close you still see cork's natural grain; from across the room the floor reads as a soft, urban neutral. Colors on screens can mislead, so check a free sample against your finishes.

Why Choose Fashionable Cement

• Concrete look, cork feel: a cement-style color with the warmth and give of cork.
• Commercial durability: Class 33 commercial rating and a 10-year commercial warranty.
• Lower noise: cork layers soften the echo common in open, hard-surfaced lofts.
• Environmental profile: PVC free, with an EPD and Blue Angel listed for the range.
• Plank format: 7.5" x 48" boards give a linear, contemporary layout.

Installation

Install Fashionable Cement as a floating floor over a flat, dry subfloor. Over concrete slabs, which are common in lofts, use a PE moisture barrier film of at least 0.2 mm. Radiant heating is acceptable when the floor surface stays at or below 82°F. Acclimate cartons for 48 hours and keep the space between 65°F and 82°F.

Frequently Asked Questions
