C O R K , A N E X C E P T I O N A L R AW M AT E R I A L Cork is the outer bark of the cork oak tree (Quercus Suber L.), the 100% natural plant tissue covering the trunk and branches. It consists of a honeycomb-like structure of microscopic cells filled with an air-like gas and composed mainly with suberin, lignin, and polysaccharides. One cubic centimetre of cork contains about 40 million cells. Cork is also known as “nature’s foam” due to its alveolar cellular structure. It has a closed-cell structure making it lightweight. It is sustainably harvested by specialised professionals without damaging...

Up to 73 tons of CO₂ sequestred by the cork oak forest* T H E C O M M I T M E N T T O C R E AT E A P O S I T I V E I M PA C T O N T H E P L A N E T Cork products maintain the CO2 storage capacity throughout their life cycle, which makes it possible to reduce the carbon footprint of various cork-based products. With cork at the core, blended with other materials that are by-products from other industries (industrial symbiosis), we give materials a new life by creating new products leveraging cork’s attributes while taking care of the planet. At the i.cork factory, our innovation hub, we achieve...

WHY ACOUSTICORK? Ensuring peace and quiet isn’t a mere luxury. It’s already a human need - to guarantee quality of life and work in our fast-moving era. FA S T - M O V I N G T I M E S R E Q U I R E A C O U S T I C C O M F O R T Growing urbanization and rising populations in urban areas are leading to more stringent noise and vibration standards and norms. As a result, is higher demand for high-quality and efficient sound insulation and vibration isolation (from internal or external sources in each building). Every day, new buildings are being erected on plots of land subject to vibrations, in...

UNDERSCREED Acousticork underscreeds range offers the right product for medium to high acoustic demands. The product properties and profiling of the Acousticork floor mats are specially designed for high and variable loads, with low deflection. Considering this, their use can be extended to multiuse buildings (hotels, refurbishments, assembly rooms, shopping centers, supermarkets, etc.) with stable material properties over the entire service life of the product. ➀ Test procedure according to ISO 10140-1:2010; ISO 10140-3:2010; ISO 10140-4:2010 and ISO 717-2:2013 standards. Test Apparatus: 140mm...

WA L L B E A R I N G Acousticork wall bearing prevents low frequency propagation on the wall/floor interface. It also increases the lifetime of the building, avoiding the appearance of cracks due to decoupling of elements. MS-RO CORK AND RECYCLED RUBBER Part of the Acousticork range, wall bearing products are an excellent solution for acoustic and vibration issues. These materials are available available with different backings, such as double-sided tape, aluminium or polyester film.
