THERMAL AND ACOUSTIC EFFICIENCY AND REGULATION
The choice of cork as a material for thermal insulation was made essentially on the basis of its properties, in fact, cork, in contrast to other building materials, is preferred when it comes to insulation because it is breathable, waterproof, impervious, it does not age, it is constant over time in its insulation properties.
It is also known that a good part of the heat produced by heating a house is dispersed due to the presence of structural elements that are made from traditional materials, such as wood and concrete, which are good thermal conductors. Cork, on the other hand, eliminates, or at least considerably reduces, these problems by trying to retain heat in cold weather and then by saving money on heating and rejecting and keeping heat out of the house on hot days.
Corticyte® is also excellent acoustic insulation, which improves the quality of life inside homes and the quiet conditions required for any type of business, such as offices, hotels or restaurants.
ANTI-CONDENSATION
Corticyte® is a real revolution in the field of construction and industry, as when applied to damp, cold walls, it absorbs moisture, filters it and evaporates it without deteriorating, thus initiating a natural process of purification and cleaning, increasing the filtration and evaporation of moisture from the wall. It can be used in saunas, changing rooms, swimming pools, basements and other poorly ventilated areas with a lot of condensation
ENCAPSULATION OF ASBESTOS PANELS AND TILES
We all know how difficult and expensive it has become to replace all asbestos coverings in accordance with current regulations, in order to protect the health of all of us. Encapsulating asbestos with Corticyte® is a simple, quick and long-lasting solution.
DURABLE AND ECO-FRIENDLY
Corticyte® natural cork flooring is an organic product that does not lose properties over time. It saves energy (up to 35%), contains no solvents and is non-toxic. Corticyte® is already an environmentally friendly product due to its energy efficiency properties, but not only that, it has a huge range of properties that make it a truly “green” product.
