Never noticed a smell in association with cork floors- but the cork wall in my bedroom years ago was indeed odiferous. Maybe Armstrong or one of the cork companies have some ideas for sealants to cut the smell... Yes- that burnt smell associated with cork, especially in the heat of summer.

They'd been installed in the late 50s/early 60s. When I saw them in the 80s, they looked great. They had an interesting organic look, which went really well with the family's collection of antique furniture and rugs. They were comfortable to walk on, but did give off a faintly burnt odor.
