Charles Taylor invented a floor covering called Corticene. He wanted to expedite the process of manufacturing floor covering. Both linoleum and corticene are made of granulated cork bound together with a cement prepared from linseed oil, together with several other ingredients. Corticene had better wearing qualities, and greater resilience than linoleum.
