Cork grows as the bark of the Cork Oak tree, which is grown and harvested mostly in Portugal. Cork is harvested about every 9 or 10 years and is allowed to dry for 1 to 2 years. It is then boiled to remove any toxins and is cut and dried for use. People use cork in various ways. Cork wine stoppers are some of the first things that come to mind when envisioning cork.

Cork resists water and stains, which makes it a good material to use in kitchens and bathrooms as well. n MetroCreative Connection OFFERS MORE THAN JUST AUTO GLASS ANYTHING TO DO WITH GLASS ...
