BUILDING COMFORT WITH SUSTAINABILITY FLOORING SOLUTIONS

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...

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...

Thermal insulation and resistance Acoustic insulation Decoupling layer to avoid ceramic crack Performance along the time and high compressive creep

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,...

FLOORING SOLUTIONS Sustainable and highly durable and performing solutions made of agglomerated cork to assure sound insulation, improve thermal comfort and protect the floor of any space. Cork is a common denominator used in all our underlayments. When applied beneath a flooring system, a cork-based underlayment provides greater comfort, protection and longevity to the final floor. ▸▸ Agglomerated cork and recycled rubber underlayment for impact, noise and thermal insulation. ▸▸ Ceramic/Natural stone tiles and wood floor.
