I think Forest (Folivier) installed cork in his bathroom when he redid it a few months back. Right now we have wood, and really, really like it. We left in the moisture barrier that was under the old carpeting and padding, and then installed the wood over that.....gives it a "softer" feel. We spent a month travelling in the northwest last November/December and experienced mostly temps in the mid 30's to high teens most of the time. Our feet never "stuck" to the floor.....in fact it seemed no cooler than normal.....a real testament to the insulation Newell installs. After a year and a half we still like our decision, but would definitely consider cork if/and when we replace that. It is wearing well, and very, very easy to clean and really gives our Newell a great interior look.
