Expanded cork is made from the bark of the cork tree, which is granulated, then the granules are bound together using the resin that natural occurs within bark.
This product originates from a renewable and sustainable raw material, since the cork is extracted without killing or doing any harm to the tree. The maintenance of the cork oak forest is an eco-friendly activity, keeping and preserving a very fragile and unique ecosystem.
The Insulation Corkboard is made from the expansion of the cork granules, by steaming. The agglutination of the granules is made with the resins of the cork, without the use of any synthetic agents, namely glues or solvents. It is presented in boards.
The physical and mechanical properties of the cork origins on a product that is elastic, permeable to steam, with long durability (without changing its properties) and with excellent thermal, acoustical and vibrations insulation features.
