After the deaths of his father and mother (in 1903 and 1905 respectively)
Proust turned into a virtual recluse. Among other things, he lined
his room with cork to keep out dust and noise, turning his room
into a shelter from the outside world.
Cork is great for a child's room, and will give the floor a nice bit of bounce.
Yes, salt and sugar will stay solid at room temperature because they have high melting points. Cork is also a solid material at room temperature and remains so under normal conditions.
Cork flooring is a wonderful product for any room. Think about it.... A Cork can spend a 100 years in a bottle of fine wine and not deteriorate. Cork flooring is soooooo durable and now comes in a lot of designer colors. It can be used in residential settings and is often used in commercial applications. Go on don't be afraid of Cork...it wears like iron.
Measure your room, make a line in the center of the room (both ways) with a chalk line. Start laying it!
The word 'cell' comes from the Latin word 'cellula', which means a small room. Robert Hook names the cell when he looked at a sliver of cork, and compared those cork cells to the rooms that monks lived in.
The safest (controlling the cork) way I have found is to wrap the cork with the index finger and thumb of your dominant hand and rotate the bottle away from the cork with your other hand. You still get the satisfying pop and the cork will stay in your strong hand. I think the safest way to uncork a bottle is to Place a dish towel over the bottle, firmly grasping the bottom part plus holding the bottle firmly. Slowly turn out the cork, and if it does 'fly' out of your hand it will get lodged in the centre of the towel, and not flying across the room knocking over the urn of your Grandparents sitting on the mantle. Hope this helps I have heard to turn the bottle and not the cork. let gravity be your friend.

A cork is an old fashioned stopper or plug/bung put in the top of a bottle to stop the contents from escaping. It is made from the inner bark of a particular tree, and is usually small and cylindrical in shape. If you watch an old movie, when they celebrate by opening a bottle of champagne, you will see a small brown projectile (the cork), fly across the room, rather than the plastic bungs used nowadays.
