Granulated cork insulation

The Creation of Expanded Cork Granules: A Zero Waste Journey

The process is ecologically sound. Initially, we subject natural cork grains to extreme heat in special molds. During this heating phase, the cork fragments swell – similar to how popcorn pops. This is the stage where the natural material enhances its qualities beyond other materials or even conventional cork forms. In making expanded cork, the material emits a resin (suberin) which organically unites all the particles. Expanded cork granules are crafted using leftovers from the production of expanded cork insulation boards.

Diverse Applications of Granulated Cork Insulation in Construction and Beyond

Ever wondered about the uses of expanded cork when it's finely shredded? Expanded cork insulation has a wide range of applications, particularly favored in the building sector for filling inner double walls, gable roofs, offering loose insulation amongst joists, filling voids, and in unoccupied floor areas, among others. Did you know expanded cork granules are also a hit in the movie industry? They are used by filmmakers for crafting special effects like simulated rubble in explosive scenes!

Your Eco-Friendly Insulation Choice

We present to you a completely secure and natural product, free from any synthetic binders or harmful chemicals. Furthermore, expanded cork is both hypoallergenic and fully recyclable. It's sourced from the bark of cork oak trees, known for absorbing four times more CO₂ than other tree varieties. We're proud of the environmental friendliness and sustainability of natural cork!
