CORKTHERM – Natural cork insulation for walls and facades
Thermal insulation and heat protection made from cork CORKTHERM combines visual appeal with outstanding properties: excellent dimensional stability and sound absorption, optimal heat protection, regulates humidity, 100% recyclable, no chemical additives, flame retardant.
The Characteristics
CORKTHERM consists of 100% renewable cork from Portugal. Natural cork harvesting preserves the unique cork oak forests and their ecosystem, as the cork oaks are only stripped of their bark. This maintains the ecological balance. CORKTHERM is environmentally friendly and fully recyclable, as it contains no additives. It is naturally rot-proof and therefore extremely durable. This significantly minimizes the impact on the environment. CORKTHERM has excellent technical properties. It ensures a balanced indoor climate through optimal thermal and heat protection, regulates humidity in buildings and rooms, and actively prevents mold growth. In addition, CORKTHERM is flame-retardant and inhibits the spread of fire in the event of a fire.
With CORKTHERM, Ziro offers a purely natural insulation material made from expanded cork – without additives, but with maximum effect. The insulation material, which is obtained from the bark of the cork oak, impresses with its excellent heat protection, sound absorption, and moisture-regulating effect. CORKTHERM ensures a healthy indoor climate and is ideal for roofs, facades, floors, and walls – whether in new buildings or renovations. Its high dimensional stability and durability make it a sustainable alternative to synthetic materials. Naturally insulating – with responsibility for the environment and quality of life.
CORKTHERM is made from expanded cork without additives such as binding agents. Expanded insulating cork consists of 100% cork granulate, a by-product of bottle cork production. It is a low-energy process in which the cork granulate is heated evenly with hot steam in the absence of oxygen. Most of the energy required for this is covered by burning bark residues with a high wood content. This increases the volume of the cork cells and binds them together with the liquefied cork resin suberin. This significantly increases the natural insulating properties of natural cork. During this process, the cork granulate can be pressed into blocks or other molded shapes.
