Expanded Cork Isolation

The corkboard material is a natural product (vegetal) originating from cork. The cells of the expanded cork contain 50% air, are waterproof and are expandable. The corkboard is not only a thermal, but also a phonic and vibratic insulator.

The cork granulates are placed in a pressure cooker, heated to a temperature of 300°C and without any contact with the air. The blocks are then removed and cooled. Afterwards, they are sawn to the dimensions required. After cleaning, the fibres are compressed into sheets.

Applications for the corkboard are insulation of walls, floors, ceilings, refrigerators, pipes, doors. It is also used against steaming condensation and structure and machine vibrations, as gaskets, for acoustic correction, etc.

Expanded cork boards are produced in dimensions 1000 x 500 mm thickness from 10 to 150 mm. In three different density’s. Different sizes of granulates in bags.

Sheets of 1250 x 625 mm, thickness from 10 to 40 mm.
Fabricated combinations with cork insulation 1000 x 500 x 40 mm.
Stripes 1250mm to 80 / 100 / 120 mm
