With the discovery of cork stoppers in a newly acquired warehouse in 1868, the Wicander family embarked on what was to become a family legacy in the cork industry. This journey would span two continents and continues on today through their great great grandchildren. Although today WE Cork products are made available by distributors in every region of the United States, the company is based in historic Exeter, NH. Cork is an all-natural product derived from the bark of the cork tree. In these days of increased concern for the environment, cork remains the only tree whose bark can regenerate itself after harvest, leaving the tree unharmed. Cork is a variety of the oak tree which regrows its bark every 9 years. This results in an all natural, environmentally responsible product with exceptional physical properties for sound control and thermal insulation plus being hypoallergenic. WE Cork specializes in cork underlayment, flooring and wall covering.
