DESCRIPTION
Patchwork cork tiles or panels produced by gluing and pressing several pieces of natural cork, to be used as a wallcovering within buildings.

Standard dimensions are 900×600 and 600×300 mm and the thickness can vary from 20 to 35 mm depending on the type of texture. The surface can be natural or coloured.

SUSTAINABILITY
RUSTICORK uses strips of natural cork, which are discarded for the manufacture of stoppers, or pieces of virgin cork in its raw state, to create an absolutely unique and impossible to imitate appearance and texture. For this reason, RUSTICORK is unique and it is specified not only for its aesthetics, but also for its function and its natural state, truly organic.

Each cork oak forest is carefully managed, with cork oaks that live for more than 200 years, in which cork is harvested responsibly, without impacting the tree, and a new layer grows back that is ready for harvest in approximately nine years. In addition, the cork oak has a remarkable capacity to retain carbon and a stripped cork oak retains almost five times more carbon. These exceptional characteristics make cork a naturally sustainable product and its use contributes to the preservation of the environment and a unique habitat in the world.

FEATURES
