BUILDING COMFORT WITH SUSTAINABILITY

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...

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. The green solution for your projects. 100% cork-based, natural, reusable and recyclable. The perfect solution to strike a balance between...

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.

V I B R AT I O N I S O L AT I O N Acousticork’s specific material formulations for vibration control combine performance with environmental concerns. Isolating the source of the vibration is essential not only to protect the quality of life of people in both the immediate location and those in the surrounding environment, it also helps to protect equipment from the long term degenerative effects of vibration. Acousticork Vibration Control materials are engineered compounds of cork, natural and/or recycled rubber. Having high loss factors which are essential to the damping function - due to cork’s...
