Cork Insulation
The most amazing natural sustainable material can be used for internal, external and cavity walls. It can also be utilised for insulating floors, ceilings, partitions or for roofs.
Available in varying thicknesses, the sheets are lightweight and easily cut to size.
It comes without any environmentally damaging toxic resins, with only the cork granules within the sheets bound by the natural serins (sap) released during the making process.
Of course the health benefit of specifying a wonderfully natural insulator is just one advantage.

Why is cork so good?
Cork by its’ very nature has so many inherent qualities it’s hard to understand why it’s been overlooked by so many and for so long.
A versatile and sustainable alternative
We really discovered the real benefits of cork by accident. Knowing already that cork often looks stunning – particularly in contemporary product development. In fact, we’d seen plenty of news items in the design arena showcasing fabulous creativity with cork.
So, after a little investigation (and always wearing our environmental hat firmly on our heads) we started to discover so much about cork that it quickly became our flagship material. We were simply unable to overlook or resist the inherent qualities, adaptability and availability of cork. With our original plan to start an environmentally orientated business, cork created our cornerstone.
