Got questions? You're not alone — here’s everything you need to know.
HOW DO FINE, MEDIUM, AND COARSE-GRAIN CORK SHEETS DIFFER?
Fine-grain cork sheets are smooth to the touch, flexible, and highly durable. If you’re looking for a material that’s easy to shape and cut without breaking apart, fine cork is the ideal choice. It's perfect for creating branded merchandise, precision gaskets, coasters, or custom shoe inserts. Its polished surface also makes it a great option for wall décor.
Medium-grain cork sheets are commonly used for bulletin boards, displays, and organizational panels. They're ideal for shared spaces like classrooms, offices, or community centers where you want to pin things up easily.
Coarse-grain cork boards excel at sound and thermal insulation. Install them on walls or ceilings to block noise and maintain a comfortable indoor climate all year round.
WHAT THICKNESS IS BEST FOR FINE-GRAIN CORK SHEETS?
- 0.8 to 3 mm: Great for producing lightweight items like drink coasters or small promo gifts.
- 2 to 5 mm: Commonly used for mechanical seals — think cork gaskets, rubber-cork hybrids, and oil pan gaskets.
- 5 to 10 mm: Ideal for orthopedic and footwear accessories like heel pads, insoles, and shoe midsoles.
- 12 to 25 mm: A perfect pick if you're looking for a smooth-surfaced insulating panel with solid performance.
- 50 to 150 mm: Best suited for projects where serious thermal or acoustic insulation is required.
IS CORK SUITABLE FOR FLOORING — OVER OR UNDER?
Absolutely. Whether you're going for the full cork flooring experience or just adding a subfloor underlayment, cork brings warmth and comfort to your space. It’s a smart choice for anyone seeking a softer, quieter floor.
ARE SELF-ADHESIVE CORK SHEETS AVAILABLE?
Yes, indeed. Fine-grain cork sheets are also available in a handy peel-and-stick format. Setup is a breeze — just remove the backing and press it where you want. No messy glue, no extra tools.
Quick setup checklist:
#1 Let the cork acclimate for 72 hours in the room where it will be installed — this helps avoid shrinking or warping later on.
#2 Make sure the surface is clean and smooth. Uneven or dusty areas might cause the cork to peel off too early.
IS CORK MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER MATERIALS?
While cork may seem a bit more expensive upfront, it’s cost-effective in the long run.
Compared to styrofoam and other synthetics, cork offers superior insulation, greater durability, and is naturally antistatic and hypoallergenic. Cheaper materials wear out faster — which means more replacements, more labor, and more cost over time.
SHOULD YOU USE SHEETS OR ROLLS OF CORK?
Planning to cover a large space? A cork roll is a great time-saver — it goes on seamlessly with fewer joints. If you're working on smaller or more detailed projects, pre-cut sheets will save you time and hassle — they lay flat and require no unrolling.
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO CUT FINE-GRAIN CORK?
Fine-grain cork is easy to work with and doesn’t fray easily. Use a sharp utility knife or a specialized cork cutter for smooth, clean cuts — perfect for both DIYers and pros.
CAN CORK PANELS BE INSTALLED ON THE CEILING?
Definitely! Cork panels are lightweight and a great option for ceilings. Just be sure to secure them firmly so they stay in place and don’t come loose over time.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO MOUNT CORK ON A WALL?
Installing cork tiles on a wall is easier than you might think – it’s a quick DIY project anyone can do with the right materials.
- First, clean the wall surface so it’s free from dust or grease. This helps the adhesive bond properly. We recommend Wakol D-3540 contact glue – it works great. You’ll need about 120 grams per tile. A 0.8 kg container will cover roughly 6 tiles, while a 2.5 kg bucket can handle up to 20 tiles.
- Apply glue to both the wall and the back of each cork tile using a short-nap roller for even coverage without clumps.
- Wait until the adhesive turns clear – that’s when it’s ready to use.
- Gently press the cork onto the wall, working from one side to the other.
- Let it cure fully – about 24 hours for optimal adhesion.
- Check out our complete cork application kit – it has everything you need for gluing, painting, and sealing cork efficiently.
Mounting glue for wood or fast-acting contact adhesives are also good alternatives, especially for quick fixes.
IS FINE-GRAIN CORK SUITABLE FOR DOORS?
Absolutely! Fine-grain cork sheets work well on interior doors, offering both a design boost and a little extra protection from scratches and bumps.
CAN I PAINT CORK ON THE WALL?
Yes, you can! Cork is very paint-friendly. Start with a primer to keep it from soaking up too much paint, then use our specially formulated cork paints for long-lasting color and coverage. For the best finish, apply at least two coats using our complete painting kit.
WHAT CAN CORK BE PAIRED WITH?
Cork is super versatile. You can combine it with paper, foam, cardboard, and more. It also goes well with wood, glass, fabric, and metal – making it a smart choice for all kinds of creative or functional projects.
IS CORK A GOOD OPTION FOR ENTRYWAYS?
Yes, cork is perfect for busy entry spaces. It handles foot traffic well and has natural durability that stands up over time.
Compared to paint, wallpaper, or ceramic tiles, cork adds warmth, texture, and comfort to a room.
Paint might chip or fade with wear.
Wallpaper is easily damaged by moisture and can peel.
Tiles are tough but cold and hard, which doesn’t always suit a cozy vibe.
Natural cork, however, maintains its warm appearance and soft feel for years. Even under sunlight, it ages beautifully with only minimal color change.
ARE LARGER SIZES AVAILABLE?
You bet! If you’re working with a large surface, check out our cork rolls. These are sold by the linear meter and can be trimmed to the exact size you need – perfect for custom projects.
CAN FINE-GRAIN CORK BE USED AS A BULLETIN BOARD?
If you're going to be pinning a lot of notes or photos, we recommend using medium-grain cork, which is more resistant to pushpins. Fine-grain cork is best used as a stylish overlay on an existing board.
IS CORK SUITABLE FOR SEALS OR GASKETS?
Yes, it is! Fine-grain cork is flexible and easy to shape, which makes it a great option for custom seals or gaskets in home repairs or craft work.
CAN CORK BE USED IN DAMP AREAS LIKE BATHROOMS?
Yes, when used properly. Cork naturally contains suberin – a waxy substance that makes it moisture-resistant and mold-resistant. It’s a safe option in rooms with moderate humidity (between 40% and 60%), like bathrooms or laundry areas.
HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF CORK, AND HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
Just wipe it down with a soft cloth and a gentle, pH-neutral cleaner. Stay away from harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubs. For extra protection in moisture-prone areas, seal it with a water-based polyurethane finish made for cork.
With regular care, cork materials can last for decades – it’s a long-term solution that keeps looking great.
Fine-grain cork sheets are a smart, stylish, and sustainable choice for your home. They’re easy to install, pleasant to the touch, and add a natural elegance to any space. Ready to see what cork can do for your interior?
#1 OUR CORK SHEETS GO BEYOND WHAT YOU’LL FIND IN STORES

What does that mean for you? Exceptional insulation, unmatched durability, and peace of mind knowing you won’t need to replace them anytime soon. In the long run, this is an investment that saves money and spares you the hassle of frequent repairs or upgrades.
No two projects are the same – that’s why we offer an extensive selection of cork boards in various sizes and thicknesses to match your specific needs. Unlike the limited range at most retailers, we make sure you get the perfect fit, whether you’re planning a home project or commercial installation.
#2 EFFORTLESS TO WORK WITH – A CRAFTER’S DREAM
Working with our fine-grain cork is a joy. It’s easy to cut, shape, engrave, paint, or print on – making it ideal for DIYers, makers, and design pros alike. Create unique coasters, vision boards, wall art, or custom organizers with ease. This cork is your go-to material for creative customization.

With their smooth texture, flexibility, and resistance to pressure, they not only look great but hold up over time. Add warmth and a natural touch to any interior space.
#3 NATURAL CORK IS A SUSTAINABLE CHOICE
Cork isn’t just practical – it’s also one of the most eco-conscious materials available. Every sheet is made from renewable cork oak bark, which regenerates naturally every 9 to 12 years without harming the tree. What’s more, the bark can absorb up to five times more CO2 than other trees, making it a truly carbon-negative product. So, when you choose cork, you’re not just enhancing your project – you’re also doing right by the planet.
#4 WHEN IT COMES TO PRINTING – CORK DELIVERS
Thanks to its ultra-smooth surface, our fine-grain cork makes an ideal canvas for printing. Images, text, and graphics pop with crisp detail and bold color, whether you're printing business cards, signage, or decorative elements.
The tight grain structure supports consistent ink absorption, ensuring vibrant results that stand the test of time. If you’re looking for a high-impact way to bring your creative ideas to life, this cork is a smart and stylish foundation.
