looked at the cork flooring at Home Depot, yesterday. They sell a plank type of interlocking cork laminate. It did seem to have the properties you listed, acoustic and thermal goodness. The sales associate remarked about it's lack of durability and proceeded to show me the Allure flooring, an interlocking plank made of plastic. I can see that either would be advantageous to TT flooring. This is something I'll be mulling over before I make a choice. FWIW, I operated my own small flooring business for 8 years so I'm able to install just about anything except wood strip. Thanks for the recommendation about cork,I wouldn't have considered it without your post.
I have not heard of Allure but will investigate it next time in one of those big box home improvement stores. I have seen the cork parquet flooring in kitchens and it is pretty durable. Good luck and am enjoying watching your labor of love. It has inspired a lot of discussion between DW and I about doing something similar when I retire from the US Army and the kids are a little older.
