- Excellent thermal & acoustic insulation;
- Impermeability to liquids & gases;
- Excellent elasticity, compressibility & resilience;
- Hypoallergenic
- Soft to touch;
- Cork tress & cork products absorb CO2
Eco Plus
The eco-friendly process of cork harvesting enables the products to be made without the need for felling trees. This process doesn’t interfere with the delicate eco systems of the cork forests (also known as Montado forests), keeping the forests safe for their animal inhabitants. Montado forests play a vital role in the control of climate balance by absorbing a huge 32 million tons of CO2 each year. The harvested cork is still in fact a living material, which continues to absorb Co2 long after it has been harvested.
