Projected Cork: Natural, Sustainable, and Versatile Insulation for Construction.

What is projected cork?

Projected cork, or natural projected cork, is an insulating material derived from the bark of the cork oak.

Its extraction is environmentally friendly and low-impact, as it is done manually. After its use by the cork industry to create corks, its waste remains useful.

 

The projected cork is formulated from sterilized granules of natural cork, solvent-free resins, and inorganic dyes.

Some of its properties include: thermal and acoustic insulation, waterproofing, elasticity, durability, and resistance to high temperatures, among others.

With the use of natural cork as a raw material, Aislamientos Suberlev offers a range of eco-friendly products that are respectful of the environment.

Properties of Projected Cork:

  • Thermal and Acoustic Insulation: Projected cork is an excellent thermal and acoustic insulator, making it an ideal material for sustainable construction.
  • Waterproofing: Projected cork is waterproof, making it ideal for use on façades and roofs.
  • Elasticity: Projected cork is an elastic material, allowing it to adapt to different surfaces and prevent the appearance of cracks.
  • Durability: Projected cork is a highly durable material that can last up to 30 years.
  • Resistance to High Temperatures: Projected cork is resistant to high temperatures, making it ideal for use in warm climates.

 

Projected Natural Cork: Advantages and Disadvantages

Projected natural cork can be used in any type of construction and on any surface.

It has numerous advantages and characteristics, such as waterproofing, breathability, elasticity, and high thermal and acoustic insulation capacity.

Its many features make it an ideal product for both interior and exterior applications, suitable for façades, interiors, and roofs.

Advantages of Projected Cork:

  • Eco-friendly and Sustainable Material: Projected cork is an eco-friendly and sustainable material obtained from a renewable resource.

  • Improved Indoor Comfort: Projected cork enhances the indoor comfort of homes by reducing noise and temperature.

  • Energy Savings: Projected cork helps reduce energy consumption by improving the thermal insulation of homes.

  • Reduces Environmental Impact: Projected cork reduces the environmental impact of homes as it is an eco-friendly and sustainable material.

Disadvantages of Projected Cork:

Like all building materials, projected cork has some disadvantages.

If it is not of good quality, it can cause problems in homes or buildings:

  • Lack of Waterproofing.
  • Limited Durability Over Time.
  • Discoloration and Premature Deterioration of the Material, Affecting Supports.
  • Problems with Leaks and Moisture.

Therefore, it is very important to select quality materials and products, such as the natural projected cork from Suberlev, which has a durability of 30 years.

Applications of Projected Cork:

 

Due to deterioration over time, building façades need a coating that protects them from climatic changes and moisture.

Just like the exterior of buildings, it is also recommended to apply projected cork on roofs, as coverings also require insulation against heat, cold, and rain.

Therefore, natural projected cork is a natural coating that, thanks to its characteristics as a thermal, acoustic, and waterproof insulator, is suitable for any construction.

Using and applying this material is very simple, although it should always be handled by a specialist.

You can apply white projected cork or choose from our 27 colors.

If you want to become a distributor or applicator of our products, please contact us, and we will provide you with information about our entire range of products and machines for thermal insulation and energy savings.

Projected cork can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as:

  • Façades: Projected cork can be used as thermal and acoustic insulation in façades.
  • Roofs: Projected cork can be used as thermal insulation and waterproofing on roofs.
  • Interiors: Projected cork can be used as thermal and acoustic insulation in interiors.
  • Floors: Projected cork can be used as thermal and acoustic insulation in floors.

How to Apply Projected Cork:

  1. Product Preparation: Mix the product with an industrial mixer until a homogeneous paste is achieved.
  2. Apply the Product: Project the product onto the surface using an air spray gun or a projection machine.
  3. Let the Product Dry: Allow the product to dry between layers for a minimum of 4 hours.

In our YouTube video, we explain all the steps to follow.

We always recommend that the application of natural projected cork be carried out by a qualified worker.

Types of Projected Cork:

There are different types of projected cork, each with different applications:

  • Projected Cork for Roofs and Façades: This type of projected cork is designed for use on façades and roofs.
  • Fine Projected Cork for Façades and Interiors: This type of projected cork is designed for use on façades and interiors.
  • Novo-suber: This type of projected cork is an innovative product that offers greater thermal and acoustic insulation.

All of them are made from expanded natural cork granules, solvent-free resins, and inorganic dyes with high stability for outdoor use.

Projected Cork for Façades

For the restoration of façades, paving, or waterproofing, Suberlev offers projected cork for roofs and façades.

This product is designed to be applied to building façades and/or roofs.

Some of its properties include:

  • Eliminates possible condensation;
  • Thermal insulator;
  • Non-slip;
  • Suitable for pedestrian traffic;
  • High weather resistance;
  • Elasticity, preventing the appearance of cracks due to shrinkage;
  • Durability over time;

In addition to the aforementioned characteristics, projected cork for façades adheres to different substrates, such as:

  • Galvanized steel;
  • Glass;
  • PVC;
  • Aluminum;
  • Mosaic tiles;
  • Concrete.

Its granulation is 0.4 - 0.9 mm.

Projected Cork for Interiors

Suberlev's natural projected cork for façades and interiors is perfect for eliminating moisture thanks to its high degree of breathability.

Its fine grain (0.1 - 0.4 mm) makes it ideal for application indoors, as it adheres well to paints in good condition, plaster, or concrete, for example.

Conclusion:

 

Projected cork is a natural and sustainable insulating material that offers a range of advantages for construction. It is an eco-friendly material, improves indoor comfort in homes, helps reduce energy consumption, and lowers environmental impact.
