Thanks friend.
Need cover the cork with some polyester to protect cork and walk over or rough cork?
The ceiling will continue absortive with rockwool panels right?
BTW nice studio yours, congratulations.

Thanks! No need to cover the cork. I've seen a few studios with cork floors. I have cork countertops in my wine cellar. It's pretty durable.

vinyl is about as good as your taste... 100s of varieties available from fake wood finishes (which i hate) to vibrant solid colours to artsy patterns....

Cork is a great material and very environmentally friendly. Forgiving on the knees, too.

Why not wood: cost, aesthetics?

Though probably not what you're looking for, engineered bamboo flooring is very good. The surface is harder than oak and resists dings and wear well, plus it can be installed below-grade in basements and other places where you cannot put wood due to moisture issues. It's also a very renewable resource.
