The material behind the systems
About Cork
Versatile, durable, and renewable. Cork insulates, quiets, and protects — and our cork coatings put those properties to work on walls, ceilings, and façades.
Why Cork
What cork does for a building
Thermal Insulation
Comfortable indoor temperatures with less energy spent heating and cooling.
Soundproofing
Cork's dense structure dampens sound transmission for quieter rooms.
Waterproofing
A protective barrier against water infiltration, mold, and rot.
Durable & Flexible
Resists weather and impact — and moves with the building instead of cracking.
Fire Resistance
Inherent fire-resistant properties for safer assemblies.
Low VOCs
Minimal VOC release for healthier indoor air.
Natural & Water-Based
Natural cork with water-based binders — conscious building from the ground up.
Any Substrate
Applies to concrete, wood, metal, and masonry — walls, ceilings, and roofs.
FEATURED PROJECT
A Creative Wall with Diathonite
Watch the full build from our showroom: Thermactive.037 mixed to a thick paste, applied by hand, and a curve sculpted in layers — one wall showing the build-out from bare brick to a finished Diathonite surface.
