What makes natural cork roll so special?
Ideal acoustic and thermal isolation. Cork underlay for panels features exceptionally low conductivity of heat and noise. Owing to a special structure where there are 40 million independent cells full of air for every cubic centimetre, which is not possible to achieve with modern technology, cork keeps its insulation properties in a wide range of temperatures and is always warm to touch, does not permeate nor absorbs your body heat. All these perfect cells will protect you and your family against cold, noise, vibrations and moisture non-stop for 24 hours a day.
Vibration isolation. Its high elasticity and specific porous structure prevent transfer of vibrations. It is so, because natural cork is an ideal absorber of waves and vibrations.
Dimensional stability. These special properties of the natural cork make cork underlayment a perfect alternative for standard and not effective materials, such as polyurethane foam or corrugated cardboard. The nominal thickness of the underlayment will be reduced by 50-70% in case of underlayment from porous fibre- boards. thin wood fibres or cheap foam but cork flooring underlayment is a dimensionally stable material which means that after laying the underlay, laying the floors and placing the furniture the cork layer of nominal thickness of 6mm will always remain 6mm thick. And you do not fancy visible spaces between the floor and the baseboards, do you?
Rugged surface and elasticity. Owing to irregular surface and high pliability of the natural cork, imperfections of the surface may be hidden and eliminated. Cork cell membranes are very elastic because of their pliability. When no longer under pressure, they shall return to their previous state. Gas inside the cells compresses and decreases their size when cork underlay is under high pressure. The cells return to their previous state and the cork doesn’t show any signs of deformation when the pressure stops. The foam that after a few days will have a thickness of a piece of paper will not cover the imperfections.
Naturalness and ecology. Cork underlayment is 100% natural and ecologically friendly both during the production process and during further usage, unlike all the synthetic underlay i.e. polyfoam or XPS, as it doesn’t contain any unnecessary fillers and harmful additives. Do you know the ingredients of the foam?
Impact on microclimate. The properties of natural cork allow for the stabilization of temperature and humidity, which has a positive impact on microclimate and acoustic of a room and is an effective way to isolate the space from the negative influence of construction materials.
Hypoallergenic and antistatic. It neither attracts nor absorbs dust due to the fact that there are no electric charges gathering on the cork’s surface so it doesn’t pick up the static. Therefore, it doesn’t cause allergies or pose a threat to the asthmatics. Is buying synthetic and cheap a real bargain?
Impermeability of gases and liquids. The cork underlay is almost impermeable in case of gases and liquids owing to natural suberin in cell walls. Water resistance will remain at the same level even after many years so you will not have to worry about getting a vapour retarder.
Fire resistance. Cork underlayment is a naturally fire resistant material. It burns without a flame when in contact with fire and therefore it doesn’t release any toxic gases, which is not the case with the foam.
Neutrality.Chemical indifference is another positive quality of cork. Cork underlay does not react with liquids, doesn’t have smell nor taste and it doesn’t affect health. Cork is not susceptible to humidity and rotting thanks to the presence of tannins and lack of protein.
Lightness. Air constitutes 90% of cork’s volume and 50% of its mass. Cork underlayment roll is 5 times lighter than water, and since it is impermeable, it is unsinkable too. These properties of the cork have been known and used for thousands of years.
Damage resistance. Its honeycomb structure makes the cork much more abrasion resistant than other underlays even with high coefficient of friction. An underlay of wood fibres will not withstand such impacts.
Sustainability. Natural cork is produced from the cortex of the cork tree, the ever-green type of cork oak that grows in large numbers on the Mediterranean coast. The layer of hard cork of a few to a dozen or so centimetres is separated from the trunk in the 10-year periods without causing any damage to the tree itself.
Cork underlayment is used under any type of surface, from floating floors (the so-called panels), wooden boards and hardwood floors, linoleum, PVC, carpeting, to cork floor tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone. By choosing our cork products you are helping to save the environment. Natural cork is manufactured with care for low energy usages, almost no emission and minimized environmental impact. Choosing 100% natural cork products, you are contributing to the development of innovative, responsible and sustainable solutions and thus helping to protect our environment and future generations.
