Wicanders Wise Cork Inspire Floating Plank - Traces Tea 7.5"x48"

Wicanders WISE Cork Inspire Traces Tea — 7.5" x 48" Cork Plank Flooring

Traces Tea is a 7.5" x 48" floating cork plank from Wicanders WISE Cork Inspire, made with a natural cork veneer over a non-PVC rigid cork core. The Tea colorway is a quiet, tea-toned cork that suits rooms where you want texture without a loud pattern. It carries a Class 23 residential and Class 33 commercial rating, plus a limited lifetime residential warranty.

Best for: bedrooms, reading nooks, nurseries, yoga or wellness rooms and small offices that benefit from a calm, natural floor.

The Look

The Traces name hints at a surface where the cork's markings read as subtle traces across the plank rather than bold contrast, and the Tea color keeps it in a soft, steeped-tea register. Because this is a real cork veneer, tone and texture shift naturally from plank to plank. Order a sample to see how it sits with your paint and daylight.

Why Choose Traces Tea

• Biophilic design: Wicanders positions Cork Inspire as a nature-inspired, biophilic floor.
• Low-emission credentials: the range lists Blue Angel, Greenguard Gold and French VOC A+ certifications.
• Integrated underlay: a cork layer is already bonded to every plank.
• Scratch-conscious surface: the HRT finish is described as micro-scratch resistant and resistant to color shading.
• Plank proportions: 48" lengths install in a staggered brick pattern like wood.

Installation

Lay Traces Tea as a floating floor in a brick, half-brick or random pattern. The subfloor needs to be dry and flat to within 3 mm over 2 m; firmly attached ceramic tile can stay in place. Acclimate for at least 48 hours, use a 0.2 mm PE moisture barrier on concrete, and avoid wet rooms such as saunas, where Wicanders does not permit installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Traces Tea look like? It is a soft, tea-toned cork with natural markings that read as gentle traces across each plank. Every plank is real cork veneer, so expect some natural variation.

Is Traces Tea good for a bedroom or nursery? It is a strong fit. Cork's thermal and acoustic comfort, the integrated cork underlay and the range's Greenguard Gold and French VOC A+ certifications make it well suited to quiet rooms.

Which installation patterns can I use? Wicanders floating floors can be laid in brick, half-brick or random patterns.

Can I install it in a bathroom? Wicanders does not allow installation in saunas or persistently wet rooms. The rigid cork core is designed to resist everyday humidity, not standing water, so call us to talk through a specific bathroom.

Is WISE Cork Inspire PVC free? Yes. Both the HRT protective surface and the cork rigid core are listed by Wicanders as non-PVC.
