Dodge Regupol in Pennsylvania distributes 2 thicknesses of cork flooring.  I
haven't used cork in the particular application you cite  (Good Lord, who
has?), but I do have cork floors in a portion of my home, and my wife and I
love them.  It's a surprisingly durable material - there's a public library
near here with cork floors in the main reading room, now quite worn, but
serviceable, and over 60 years old.
