The heat and sound insulation of cork products
Cork products is mainly composed of a thick outer layer of cork oak bark, which has natural resistance to insect activity and microbial growth. Cork forests are evergreen and are mainly located in the Mediterranean region, where cork has been collected for centuries. Portugal is the largest cork producer, accounting for about 50%, followed by Spain with 25%, and the rest are France, Italy, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.
The cork material naturally has millions of air-filled airbags that bounce the cork from the dents and make it feel soft when walking. Because of these tiny airbags, cork also has natural heat and sound insulation effects, which is very suitable for use in bedrooms and children’s rooms.
As one of the more environmentally friendly flooring options on the market, cork floor treatment agents are produced under strict regulations to ensure the sustainable collection of original materials. Surprisingly, despite some advances in technology, cork flooring is still harvested only by hand, which is a very labor-intensive process. The first harvest takes place when the trees are about 20 years old, and the subsequent harvests are harvested approximately every 9 years. Logging has no negative impact on the tree. A cork tree can be harvested up to 20 times in 200 years! This makes cork flooring a highly sustainable resource and the first choice for many ecologically conscious homeowners.
After harvesting, the cork bark is dried in the forest for several months. After arriving at the factory, whole products such as cork stoppers are stamped out of the bark for other purposes. The remaining cork is boiled and ground, and then combined with a viscous resin product or high-density fiberboard to make a high-quality flooring material.
