Why?

It's now being used OEM, instead of teak, by some upper end builders. At one
time cork decks were fairly common, and they may be making a comeback.

I wouldn't presume to say that you should personally choose it rather than teak
or psuedo teak, but you might want to consider it.

Here's a link where you can see a photo of
one of the current "cork deck" products.

That's actually fairly dense if it's just shy of 3/8" (9 mm).

Have you seen or worked with this stuff?

Take care.
