Sprayed Cork for Exterior Walls
Sprayed cork is an innovative and sustainable solution for exterior wall finishes. Made from natural cork granules mixed with a water-based resin, it is applied directly to walls as a spray, creating a seamless, textured finish. This method provides a host of benefits:
PROPERTIES
-
Thermal Insulation: Sprayed cork enhances energy efficiency by maintaining interior temperatures, reducing heating and cooling costs.
-
Acoustic Insulation: It absorbs sound, reducing noise pollution and creating a quieter interior environment.
-
Waterproof and Breathable: Cork is naturally water-resistant while allowing walls to breathe, preventing moisture buildup and mold.
-
Fire Resistance: Cork is naturally fire-retardant, offering additional safety.
-
Flexibility and Durability: Unlike rigid materials, sprayed cork expands and contracts with temperature changes, preventing cracks and ensuring long-term durability.
-
Eco-Friendly: Cork is a renewable resource, harvested from the bark of cork oak trees without harming them, making it a sustainable choice.
-
Aesthetic Appeal: Available in a variety of textures and natural colors, sprayed cork provides a modern, rustic, or traditional look depending on the finish.
