The top surface layer is 100% high density cork coated with 5 coats of UV cured acrylic finish (3 coats on the EcoCork). The middle layer with precut tongue and groove is a moisture resistant high density fiberboard. The base layer of low density cork underlayment provides excellent acoustic insulation.
