Cork floor tiles: glue-down, click, or peel-and-stick

Updated: 21 October 2026

You are pricing a spare room or a hall, and every tab calls the product cork. Cork floor tiles, a click plank, and a peel-and-stick square are three floors, and the cheap pack on amazon.co.uk says the least about wear. The Products Compared editorial team lined the three Treefloor packs up in our [cork floor comparison](/hub/flooring/cork-floor). We did not lay a test floor. Shelf prices are the amazon.co.uk figures from 19 October 2026. A qualifying purchase through our links can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Three cork floors, not one

Glue-down cork floor tiles are often about 4 mm of cork, stuck down, with no wood-fibre core. The sheet for that tile has to allow the room. A click plank is about 9.5–10.5 mm on a fibreboard core, floating, with a movement gap. The Treefloor tiles are 300 mm by 300 mm by 4 mm, self-adhesive and unsealed, with no British Standard. All three packs show 4.4 from 670 ratings, one shared file. Standing water is covered in cork flooring in a bathroom.

Finish, thickness, and use class

A 4 mm glue-down tile can be a specified floor when the maker names the finish and the use class. An unsealed peel-and-stick tile of the same thickness still needs that finish. Click planks sit nearer 10 mm because the core does the locking. EarthTone Click is 10.5 mm with a 15-year residential warranty and a bathroom refusal. Flooring by Nature’s glue-down tile is about 4 mm with a 10-year residential warranty. BS EN 12104:2023 covers agglomerated cork floor tiles, not click planks. Natrul’s class 23/33 tile still excludes bathrooms. Who should buy a pack is on best cork flooring.

What you pay in the UK

£19.99 over 0.81 square metres is about £24.68 per square metre. £29.99 over 1.8 square metres is about £16.66. £34.99 over 2.25 square metres is about £15.55, the lowest in this set, and it buys an unsealed 4 mm tile. Specialist material is a different product: a Granorte sale around £31 per square metre, EarthTone Glue Down at £37.95, and click from about £53.95. Beach Bros lists Heritage glue-down from £28.05 and Essence floating from £38.49, both excluding VAT.

Checks before you order

BS 8203:2017 covers installation of resilient floors, including cork. Trade explainers put a common hygrometer line at 75% relative humidity. Several cork sheets say 65%. Fit to the tighter figure on the sheet in the box. A new or anhydrite screed without a hygrometer reading is a fitter’s job. Shop sheets cap the floor surface at 26 °C, 27 °C, or 28 °C, so use the probe in the floor, not a wall thermostat. The Amazon tiles do not state bathroom use. For spills, read cork flooring or vinyl.

Common questions

Is click cork the same as glue-down cork tiles?
Click cork and glue-down cork floor tiles share a face and little else. Click planks are about 9.5–10.5 mm with a fibreboard core, they float, and they need an expansion gap. Glue-down tiles are often about 4 mm of cork, stuck down, and a supplier may allow them in a bathroom when the sheet says so. The Treefloor squares are a third case: 4 mm, self-adhesive, and unsealed.
What thickness should a cork floor be?
Match the thickness to the construction, then to the room. About 4 mm is normal for a pure-cork glue-down tile and for the unsealed Treefloor squares. About 9.5–10.5 mm is normal for a click plank because the core is inside that measurement. A thicker plank is not automatically a harder wearing face. The finish and the use class, where the maker prints them, tell you more than the millimetres alone.
Do self-adhesive cork tiles need a finish?
The Treefloor tiles are unsealed on the maker’s page, so a floor finish is part of the job if you walk on them. The install guide points to a water-based varnish in several light coats, and an over-wet coat can curl the tile. A factory-lacquered glue-down or click floor is a different purchase. If the listing never names a coating, budget for one before you call the pack a finished floor.
How much does cork flooring cost per square metre in the UK?
In this Amazon set the tile alone runs from about £15.55 to about £24.68 per square metre, using shelf prices from 19 October 2026. Specialist glue-down on the shop pages we used sits nearer £31 to £38, and click material from about £54. Add the finish before you compare a peel-and-stick pack with a factory-finished plank.
What is a use class, and does class 33 mean I can fit it in a bathroom?
A use class under BS EN ISO 10874 is a traffic rating. Class 33 is the heavy commercial end of that scale. It does not approve a bathroom, a shower, or a wet room. Natrul sells a glue-down tile as class 23/33 and still excludes bathrooms and wet rooms from the warranty. If your listing never prints a class, you do not have a class 33 floor. You have a tile without that paperwork.
How do I tell a real floor tile from a pin-board tile?
A floor tile specified to BS EN 12104 is sold as a floor covering, with a finish and, on a careful listing, a use class and a fitting sheet. A pin-board tile is cork you can pin into, and the same square sometimes appears in both sentences. The Treefloor bullets name flooring and pin boards together, and they do not name BS EN 12104.
