Cork granules

Are all granules created equal? Not even close. At first glance, they may seem identical, but appearances can be deceiving. Some crumble at the slightest touch, others lose their effectiveness in no time, and a few are about as eco-friendly as disposable plastic straws. And that’s where the trouble starts—reduced durability, a frustrating installation process, and constant replacements, all of which add up to higher costs. Cork granules stand out as one of the few materials that are both long-lasting and lightweight. You’ll find options ranging from ultra-fine cork dust to specialized granules designed for particular applications.

WHAT EXACTLY IS CORK GRANULE?

Cork granules are made from natural cork that has been processed into various grain sizes, ranging from ultra-fine dust to larger granules. The size depends on its intended use.

HOW DO CORK DUST AND CORK GRANULES DIFFER?

The key difference lies in particle size:

Cork dust consists of ultra-fine particles, similar in texture to flour.
Cork granules are larger, available in different fractions, and offer a coarser texture compared to cork dust.

DOES GRINDING NATURAL CORK IMPACT ITS PROPERTIES?

No, natural cork retains its inherent qualities – it remains flexible, moisture-resistant, and an excellent insulator.

CAN CORK GRANULES BE PURCHASED IN BULK?

Yes! We offer cork granules in a range of quantities – from small retail packs to bulk orders. Need something specific? Contact us, and we’ll be happy to assist!

IS NATURAL CORK REALLY AN ECO-FRIENDLY OPTION?

Absolutely! Cork is one of the most sustainable natural materials. The cork oak tree is never cut down – instead, its bark regenerates every 9 to 12 years, making harvesting completely renewable.

Natural cork is fully biodegradable, recyclable, and helps reduce atmospheric CO₂ levels. Plus, its production requires very little energy, making it an environmentally responsible choice.

WHAT ARE THE USES FOR CORK GRANULES?

Cork granules have an array of applications:

In construction, they serve as natural thermal and acoustic insulation.
They’re used as eco-friendly infill for artificial turf and as a component in lightweight sports surfaces and playgrounds.
In art and design, cork granules are valued for decorative purposes – particularly as a realistic sand substitute in theater and opera productions.
Gardeners and florists use cork granules to craft creative arrangements.
Fine cork dust is also used in fishing to produce buoyant bait.

ARE CORK GRANULES BIODEGRADABLE?

Yes, cork is a natural material that decomposes without harming the environment.

Whether in powder form, as granules, or in larger pieces, cork is a highly adaptable material. Some types of cork granules are designed for specific uses. Expanded cork granules are ideal for insulation. Cork infill for artificial grass offers a sustainable alternative to rubber granules, enhancing surface flexibility while reducing heat buildup. Granulated cork for pressure molding allows for the precise formation of cork components in custom shapes, including decorative elements, gaskets, panels, and technical parts.

While heavier materials are often assumed to be more durable, cork challenges that notion. It is lightweight yet incredibly resilient and can be shaped and adapted without requiring special tools.

A decade ago, eco-conscious building materials were a niche market. Today, they’re a growing standard. In many applications, plastic can be replaced with natural cork, and businesses and households alike are making the switch. Cork granules offer not just sustainability but also durability, performing exceptionally well in areas once dominated by synthetic alternatives. From shock absorption and infill to lightweight technical applications, cork granules continue to prove themselves as an innovative and sustainable material.
