New Generation Cork, Calais Cream
Calais Cream is our most popular and iconic cork flooring tile, celebrated for its luxurious cream colour that features shades of peach, sandy tones and subtle cream-to-brown accents.
We developed this tile for the award-winning Calile Hotel, recognised as the best hotel in Australia and Oceania in 2023 and 2024, and ranked 12th best globally in 2023 and 25th best in 2024.
As the cornerstone of the modern cork revival in Australia, our Calais Cream cork redefined interior design by introducing the beauty of coloured cork to the market. Its warm, inviting tones and superior quality make it a versatile choice for spaces seeking effortless elegance and sustainability.
Calais Cream features an exclusive hot-melt ceramic coating and three water-based finishes for exceptional durability. As a solid, high-density cork tile, it also offers all the unique benefits of cork such as unmatched comfort underfoot, natural acoustic and thermal insulation, durability, and is a renewable and sustainable material.
Whether you're designing a tranquil retreat or a chic commercial setting, Calais Cream’s rich texture and sophisticated hues promise a unique and lasting impression.
