INSULATION CORK

Perfect insulation with natural products

Amorim Isolamentos, S.A. concentrates its activities on the production of insulating material, heavily concentrated on expanded corkboards, but also on regranulates and boards / rolls of coconut fibre, environmentally friendly (natural) material with excellent technical characteristics, used as the ideal thermal and acoustic insulation solution.

 

Expanded Corkboards (thermal – acoustic – anti-vibratic) Expanded Corkboards (thermal – acoustic – anti-vibratic) Expanded Corkboards (thermal – acoustic – anti-vibratic)
Expanded Corkboards (thermal – acoustic – anti-vibratic)
  • 100% natural, renewable raw material
  • natural industrial process (no additives)
  • density: 110/120 kgs/m³
  • thermal conductivity coefficient 0.038 /0.040 W/ m K
  • excellent acoustic insulation (density, mass law and flexibility)
  • excellent dimensional stability (even when subject to high thermal variation)
  • unlimited durability with no loss of its characteristics
  • totally recyclable

Main applications: exterior walls; double walls; flat and sloping coverings; floating paving slab (impact noise); partitions; door insulation; prefabricated wooden houses; thermal and acoustic wooden panels; expansion/dilatation joints (adequate density); external frontages on view (MDF quality frontage).

Cork Regranulate
