Will My Cork Sample Look Exactly Like the Final Product?

Will my sample look exactly like the final product I receive?

Samples are intended to represent the product’s color, texture, and overall finish so you can evaluate the material before ordering.

In some cases, samples may be cut, layered, or assembled differently from the final production panels. For example, thicker tiles, including certain acoustic products, may use laminated pieces either in the sample or in the final construction.

Because cork is a natural material, normal variations in shade, grain, texture, and size will occur from piece to piece and from lot to lot. As a result, the final product may not match the sample exactly. These variations are a natural part of the character and beauty of real cork and are expected in production.
