Expanded Cork Board is a highly versatile and multi-functional material that can be used for a wide range of applications. One of its primary uses is in the thermal and acoustic insulation of walls. Thanks to its excellent insulation properties, Expanded Cork Sheet is an effective way to reduce heat transfer and noise pollution, making it ideal for use in homes, offices, and commercial buildings. It's also a great choice for insulation of flat, precipitous and ‘green’ roofs. Its light weight and durability make it ideal for use in green roof systems, providing an effective barrier against heat loss and moisture damage.For those working in cold storage or food processing industries, Expanded Natural Insulation is an excellent choice for cold chamber insulation. Its low thermal conductivity and moisture resistance make it ideal for use in sub-zero temperatures. In addition to thermal and acoustic insulation, Expanded Cork Board is also a popular choice for vibroisolation of machines and appliances. By absorbing vibrations and reducing noise, it can help improve the performance and lifespan of your equipment.
Finally, the material can be used for terrariums, providing a safe and natural environment for your pets or plants. Its moisture resistance and breathability make it an ideal material for use in this application.

The process of making Expanded Cork Board brings to mind... popcorn!
The process of making Expanded Cork Insulation begins with carefully harvesting the cork bark from cork oak trees. The harvested cork bark is sorted and cleaned to remove any impurities such as dirt and debris. The cork is then boiled to soften it and make it easier to work with. The softened cork is cut into small cubes or granules, which are then heated to a high temperature. This causes the cork to expand (just like popcorn), darken and become lighter in weight. Suberin that is released during the process is a natural adhesive that binds the expanding grains. Once the cork is expanded, it is graded based on its size, quality, and colour. The Expanded Cork is then cut into sheets or panels and finished to the desired thickness. Finally, the finished Expanded Cork Insulation is packaged and ready for use!About our company
