Cork is a semi-permeable buoyant material composed with suberin, a hydrophobic substance that prevents mildew growth. Cork naturally has elastic and fire-retardant properties as well.

Efficient harvesting method

Every 9 to 10 years the bark of the Quercus Suber (Cork Oak tree)  is harvested. The removal of the bark allows the tree to grow bigger. The tree itself will live for hundreds of years allowing for many more harvests. Once the bark is removed, the tree will release large amounts of oxygen, benefiting our environment.

 

Thermal Break

 Our product is a natural thermal barrier that greatly reduces heat or cold from penetrating into your home or office.

 

 

Fire Retardant

 Cork is naturally fire retardant, it will not release incandescent particles nor will it propagate flames

 

 

 

Durable

Because we dye each mixture on site with our own proprietary pigments, we are seeing less than 1% fade annually, compared to the 5-10% average that comes with traditional paint and stucco.

Eco-friendly

The bark of the cork tree is removed every nine years causing large amounts of oxygen to be released by the tree into the environment. Thermal CorkShield is a greener naturally renewable resource.

Semi-Permeable

Cork prevents water from passing through but allows water vapour to escape, preventing rot
