Most wall panels on the market are made from cheap plastic or imitation wood that looks fake and feels lifeless. Finding something stylish, natural, and easy to maintain can feel nearly impossible. That’s where Expanda Decorative Cork changes the game — its deep chocolate-brown tone, organic pattern, and genuine texture bring warmth and sophistication to any space. The result? A wall that gets compliments, not dust.

Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.
WHAT DOES “EXPANDED CORK” ACTUALLY MEAN?
Expanded cork is a completely natural material sourced from the bark of the cork oak tree — the same renewable material used in traditional cork products like coasters or pinboards. What makes it different is the way it’s processed.
Tiny cork granules are heated at high temperatures until they expand, much like popcorn. The natural resin inside the cork, known as suberin, bonds the pieces together. This unique process gives the cork its signature deep brown hue without any added dyes or chemicals — just pure nature, reshaped by heat.
While expanded cork is often used as insulation, its refined color and striking texture make it perfect as a decorative surface too. That’s how Expanda Cork was born — where design meets natural innovation.
HOW SHOULD I PREP MY WALL BEFORE INSTALLATION?
The wall should be clean, dry, and smooth — no grease, dust, or flaking paint. It’s also a good idea to check for loose plaster or damp spots before you begin.
If your wall surface is highly absorbent (for example, fresh plaster or bare drywall), apply a primer first. It’ll help the adhesive stick evenly and ensure a long-lasting bond.
DOES EXPANDA NEED TO ADAPT TO THE ROOM FIRST?
Yes, definitely. Let the panels rest in the room where they’ll be installed for at least 72 hours. During this time, the cork adjusts to the temperature and humidity — preventing warping or separation later on.
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO INSTALL DECORATIVE CORK PANELS?
For best results, use a contact adhesive like Wakol D3540. Apply it to both the wall and the back of each panel, then press firmly into place once the glue becomes tacky.
Average adhesive use is about 150–250 g/m². That means a 2.5 kg bucket covers roughly 135 sq.ft., and a 0.8 kg bucket covers about 43 sq.ft.
IS EXPANDED CORK HEAVY?
Not at all. Cork is surprisingly lightweight and easy to handle. Unlike solid wood panels or gypsum wall tiles, it won’t put stress on your wall — or on your back during installation.
IS CORK AN ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIAL?
Yes, it truly is. Cork is one of the most sustainable natural materials available. It’s harvested by hand from the cork oak tree’s bark without cutting the tree down. The process is gentle, traditional, and environmentally responsible — every nine years, the tree naturally regenerates its bark.
DOES IT ATTRACT DUST?
Nope. Cork is naturally anti-static, meaning it doesn’t attract dust or pet hair. That makes it an ideal option for allergy sufferers or anyone who prefers a low-maintenance home.
HOW CAN I MAKE PANEL SEAMS LESS NOTICEABLE?
Slightly visible seams are a normal feature of cork, but with proper installation, they become nearly invisible. Let the panels acclimate for 72 hours before installation — this helps them expand evenly and blend together more smoothly.
CAN I USE EXPANDA PANELS IN THE KITCHEN OR BATHROOM?
Yes, you can. Expanda panels work great in both kitchens and bathrooms — just make sure they’re not exposed to direct water contact. Avoid areas that get splashed or soaked regularly.
DOES EXPANDA PROVIDE INSULATION?
Because it’s made from the same natural material as standard expanded cork, Expanda retains basic thermal and sound insulation properties. However, this decorative version is primarily designed to enhance your home’s style and comfort.
If your main goal is insulation, opt for thicker, standard-grade expanded cork panels.
Cold wall panels, bright plastic lookalikes, and “trendy” wallpapers – there’s no shortage of options, but most of them miss the mark. They lack warmth, character, and that genuine sense of home. The result? A space that may look stylish for a while, but doesn’t feel like yours. Expanda Decorative Cork is crafted from 100% natural materials, featuring a refined dark hue and a beautifully organic texture. It brings real atmosphere and timeless charm to any interior.
#1 A LOOK THAT MAKES A LASTING IMPRESSION
In today’s design world, walls can be dressed up in just about anything – from bold wallpapers to glossy 3D panels – but Expanda decorative cork stands in a class of its own. It doesn’t compete with loud colors or patterns. Instead, it stands out for its natural sophistication. The deep brown tones and organic surface bring calmness and a premium feel, adding depth and authenticity to your walls.
It’s the go-to choice for those who value individuality. Every Expanda cork wall is unique – no two look exactly the same. The play of light, texture, and tone gives each space its own rhythm. Nature can’t be duplicated, and that’s what makes it beautiful. This isn’t just another paint color or panel design – it’s a living material that transforms your interior with elegance and originality. Guests often ask, “What’s that material?” because it’s not something you see every day. The rich color and tactile surface make it quietly striking, without ever being showy.
#2 VERSATILE, SAFE, AND ALLERGY-FRIENDLY
Expanda decorative cork is as versatile as it is beautiful. It fits seamlessly into any space – bedroom, living room, office, café, or restaurant – blending effortlessly with different design styles, from modern minimalist to rustic, boho, or nature-inspired interiors.
It’s not just about looks – it’s also a safe and eco-conscious choice. Cork is a 100% natural material that doesn’t release toxins or harmful compounds, keeping your indoor air fresh and clean.
Plus, it’s antistatic, which means it doesn’t attract dust or dirt. That makes Expanda panels an excellent solution for allergy sufferers or anyone who appreciates a healthy, low-maintenance environment.
#3 A TRULY SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL
In a world dominated by plastic, synthetic surfaces, and mass production, Expanda decorative cork is a breath of fresh air – literally. True sustainability isn’t about labels; it’s about materials that genuinely come from and return to nature. Cork is exactly that – a renewable natural resource harvested with respect for the environment.
No trees are cut down during the cork harvesting process. Only the bark of the cork oak is carefully removed by hand – a method perfected over generations. The tree naturally regenerates, growing a new layer of bark within 9 to 12 years. This cycle repeats for centuries, as cork oaks can live up to 200 years.
By choosing Expanda cork, you’re helping to reduce the use of plastics and synthetics in interior spaces. You surround yourself with something real – something alive. It’s a choice that benefits the planet, your health, and the quality of your everyday life.
