Wicanders Cork Essence Floating Plank - Originals Accent 12"x36"

Wicanders Cork Essence Originals Accent — 12" x 36" Cork Floating Floor

Originals Accent is a Wicanders Cork Essence floating cork floor: a 905 x 295 mm, 10.5 mm thick tile that celebrates cork's classic granular texture. Its double cork layer makes it one of the most comfortable and quiet floors we sell, and the 2G click system means it floats over the subfloor without glue. If you want a floor that clearly says cork, this is a natural place to start.

Best for: bedrooms, playrooms, libraries, music rooms and any space where softness, warmth and sound absorption matter most.

The Look

The Originals family is Wicanders' celebration of cork's own look, and Accent puts that familiar granular texture front and center. Each board is unique, since the surface is genuine cork. The large 12" x 36" format and non-beveled edges let the cork pattern flow across the room without heavy grooves. For the exact tone, request a free sample.

Why Choose Originals Accent

• Classic cork character: the granular texture people associate with cork floors.
• Comfort first: 10.5 mm with a double cork layer for warmth and acoustic softness.
• Flat, smooth surface: non-beveled edges and an XtraMatt finish.
• Glue-free floating install: Floating 2G locking system.
• Residential rated: Class 23 for residential use.

Installation

Originals Accent floats over a dry, level subfloor; Wicanders allows firmly attached ceramic tile as a base. Lay a PE moisture barrier of at least 0.2 mm over concrete, and give the cartons 48 hours to acclimate. Radiant heat is permitted if the floor surface does not exceed 82°F (28°C). Walk-off mats at entries keep grit off the cork, but avoid latex or rubber backing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Originals Accent look like? It shows cork's classic granular texture, the look most people picture when they think of a cork floor, with natural variation from board to board.

Why choose a 10.5 mm cork floor? The extra thickness of Cork Essence comes from a double cork layer, which Wicanders designs for superior thermal and acoustic comfort.

Can Originals Accent go over radiant heating? Yes, as long as the subfloor surface temperature stays at or below 28°C (82°F). Rugs can trap heat and raise that temperature.

How do I clean Originals Accent? Sweep or vacuum first, then damp-mop. Skip ammonia-based cleaners and harsh abrasives.

Is Originals Accent available in a plank? Not in Cork Essence, which comes in a 12" x 36" tile format. For a 7.5" x 48" plank with classic cork texture, look at WISE Cork Inspire Originals Shell or Originals Harmony.
