Is the flooring you put down pre-finished?
If yes, that may be where the problem lies. Some of the factory finishes
include silicon-dioxide to resist wear. This will eat saw blades rapidly.

I recently installed engineered cork flooring called uniclick that has a
grey composite in the middle and used my sliding compound miter saw
extensively during the job.

My saw blade was a good quality carbide-tipped blade and was only a few
months old. After I was finished I noticed that it caused burning when
cutting both hardwoods and softwoods and was obviously dulled. Has
anyone else had problems with this. I was rather surprised as the
flooring did not seem to be the type of material that would be hard on
blades.

The problem was presumably with the grey composite material as it
certainly wouldn't be the cork.

Any comments are appreciated.
