Cork combines raw beauty and useful characteristics that are nothing short of amazing when it comes to interior design. Made from the bark tissue of the cork oak that regenerates itself after the harvest, cork is a sustainable material that environmentally conscious designers and business owners can use guilt-free. If cork floors are a well-known interior design options, cork wall tiles and panels are an increasingly attractive one due to their excellent properties.
Cork is one of the best wall insulating materials, with both thermal transfer reduction and sound-absorbing qualities. This makes it perfect for those interested in reducing heating and cooling costs, but also for spaces such as offices, theatres or music studios where noise control is important. Fire-resistant, hypo-allergenic, anti-bacterial and free of chemicals, cork is also a great wall treatment for those worried about mild and mildew.
