About
Why choose Cork?
Cork is a semi-permeable buoyant material composed of suberin, a hydrophobic substance that prevents mildew growth. Cork naturally has elastic and fire retardant properties as well.
Every 9 to 10 years the bark of the Quercus Suber (Cork Oak tree) is harvested. The removal of the bark allows the tree to grow bigger. The tree itself will live for hundreds of years allowing for many more harvests. Once the bark is removed, the tree will release large of amounts of oxygen, benefiting our environment.
Our product is a natural thermal barrier that greatly reduces heat or cold from penetrating into your home or office.
Cork is naturally fire retardant, it will not release incandescent particlesnor will the flames propagate.
Mildew Resistant
Cork contains a fatty acid, suberin, which repels rot and prevents mold and mildew growth. In recent lab tests, our product developed zero mold growth.
Semi-Permeable
Cork prevents water from passing through but allows water vapour to escape, preventing rot.
Durable
Because we dye each mixture on site with our own proprietary pigments, we are seeing less than 1% fade annually, compared to the 5-10% average that comes with traditional paint and stucco.
Eco-friendly
The bark of the cork tree is removed every nine years causing large amounts of oxigen to be released by the tree into the environment. Thermal CorkShield is a greener naturally renewable resource.

The process
Safety
properties
01
Flame Spread Rating
We recently scored a 0 flame spread in the CAN/ULC S102-18. This rating means that flames will not easily or quickly spread over your wall surface which adds precious time in an emergency.
02
Smoke Development Rating
In the same test, we scored a 10/450 on smoke development. With smoke often being the most harmful part of any fire emergency, this is a rating we can be proud of. During this test, lab techs reported that there was no visible surface ignition.
03
Water Based Polymer Resin
Free from harsh chemicals and solvents, making it a product safe to use inside your home or commercial space, and more environmentally friendly.
04
Mold & Mildew Resistant
In recent lab tests ASTM G21-2015, samples received a rating of 10. There was zero defacement on the test specimens at the completion of the mold resistance evaluation.
