Natural decorative cork bark wall tiles and panels

Tired of the same old wall finishes? Paint, wallpaper, stone, and tiles seem to be everywhere. If you're looking for something truly distinctive, natural cork is an elegant and eco-friendly alternative that transforms your walls while offering exceptional thermal and sound insulation. It enhances the comfort of your home and even helps lower energy bills. Additionally, cork is hypoallergenic, easy to install, and perfect for those who prioritise cleanliness, practicality, and well-being.

We’re sure you have a few questions – here are the answers.

WHY IS CORK BARK AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR WALL DECOR?

These decorative cork panels are crafted by combining the natural bark of the cork oak tree with refined cork material, resulting in a distinctive and stylish aesthetic. Their textured surface and warm, earthy tones instantly add character to any interior. Each panel weighs around 4kg and covers an area of 0.55m², making installation both effortless and highly practical. A quick and simple transformation – no specialist tools required.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE VIRGIN AND CAMELEON VERSIONS?

The VIRGIN style features a more uniform, cohesive pattern, which blends seamlessly into elegant and understated spaces. The CAMELEON variant, on the other hand, has a more striking, textured look, bringing vibrancy and boldness to any setting.

HOW DO YOU INSTALL DECORATIVE CORK WALL PANELS PROPERLY?

Before installation, allow the cork panels to acclimatise for 72 hours in the room where they will be fitted to prevent any future warping. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. For a well-balanced and visually appealing finish, it’s best to arrange the panels in a staggered brickwork layout.

Self-adhesive version: Once the surface is properly prepared, remove the protective backing and press the panel firmly against the wall. The adhesive backing is designed exclusively for smooth, dust-free surfaces, such as plasterboard or furniture. This installation method is incredibly straightforward and requires no additional tools or adhesives – perfect for a hassle-free, quick upgrade.

Glue-on version: For secure attachment, we recommend using Wakol D-3540. Start by thoroughly cleaning the wall. Apply the adhesive evenly to both the back of the cork panel and the prepared wall surface using a short-pile roller. Wait for the glue to become transparent before pressing the panel into place, starting from the top to ensure a seamless fit.

Decorative cork bark brings a touch of nature’s charm and serenity into your home. Unlike traditional wood, which can be vulnerable to moisture and pests, cork wall panels are naturally resistant to these issues. Stone, while durable, often requires regular sealing and can feel cold underfoot, particularly during the winter months.

While glass adds a sleek, modern appeal, it’s prone to scratches, cracks and frequent smudging from fingerprints. In contrast, decorative cork is warm to the touch, easy to maintain and highly durable. These cork panels are not only hypoallergenic and anti-static, but they also contribute to a healthier indoor environment by regulating humidity levels and preventing mould or mildew build-up.

Thanks to its natural properties, cork doesn’t just enhance the aesthetic of a room but actively improves its microclimate by offering protection against excessive moisture, mould, and fungi.

Another key advantage is cork’s superior insulating abilities. It effectively reduces noise transmission, creating a quieter, more relaxing atmosphere that helps to minimise external disturbances and everyday stress.

Choosing cork for your walls also means making an environmentally friendly decision – this renewable material is harvested without harming trees, making it one of the most sustainable and responsible home décor solutions available.
