Can Cork Tiles Be Used as a Tabletop? | Jelinek Cork USA

Can cork tiles be used as a tabletop?

Yes, cork wall and flooring tiles can be used as a tabletop. Tiles can be adhered to the tabletop surface using our water-based contact adhesive, ensuring a secure and lasting bond.

Depending on the intended use of the tabletop, you may also want to apply an epoxy coating over the tiles once installed. If the tabletop will be exposed to liquids, food, or heavy use, an epoxy coating is strongly recommended to protect the cork surface, prevent staining, and make it easier to clean. For light decorative use or as a pinboard surface, an epoxy coating may not be necessary.
