Would you like your walls to be stylish, long-lasting, warmer, quieter, and easier to maintain? Of course, you would — who wouldn’t! In that case, have a look at cork — not the kind from a bottle, but rolled cork material. Instead of worrying about having to repaint every year, you’ll gain a solution that offers an organic look, a welcoming atmosphere, and lasting functionality. It’s a truly versatile material, not just for interior decoration, but also for technical applications.

You probably have a few questions — let us answer them!
IN WHAT APPLICATIONS IS ROLLED CORK MATERIAL USED?
Cork — especially in thinner rolls (typically 0.8–4 mm) — is ideal for:
- Covering walls (as both a decorative and protective layer),
- Finishing noticeboards (as a decorative surface) and creating pin-friendly surfaces,
- Industrial and manufacturing uses (e.g. gaskets, thinner insulating layers, and other technical applications),
- DIY and craft projects,
- Refurbishing furniture (used as a veneer),
- Producing cork decorations — such as tags, ornaments, and similar items,
- Creating coasters and placemats,
- Adding non-slip elements (e.g. under furniture).
CORK WALL COVERING ROLL VS CORK SHEETS — WHICH IS BETTER?
Rolled cork is more practical for larger projects — it minimises the number of joins and provides a continuous surface. Just remember that before use, the roll needs to be flattened out (for example, by unrolling it and weighting it down for a few hours). Cork sheets, on the other hand, are better suited to smaller projects.
DO YOU OFFER SELF-ADHESIVE ROLLED CORK?
Yes, we also offer rolled cork with a self-adhesive backing.
IS ROLLED CORK MATERIAL SUITABLE FOR MAKING A CORKBOARD?
Yes, it is — though for corkboards we recommend a thickness of 5 to 10 mm, as it holds pins more effectively and offers better durability. Thinner rolls are used as a decorative layer for large pin boards.
HOW CAN I CUT CORK ACCURATELY?
For thinner rolls, a cork knife or a sharp utility knife (such as a wallpaper knife) will do the job — just make sure the blade is sharp.
CAN CORK WALL COVERING ROLL BE PAINTED?
Absolutely — cork can be painted. The best results are achieved with paints for cork.
WHY DO I NEED TO ACCLIMATISE CORK BEFORE INSTALLATION?
Allowing the cork to acclimatise for 72 hours is an essential step — it helps the material adjust to the room’s conditions. This greatly reduces the risk of later warping or detachment from the wall (unacclimatised cork may come away from the surface).
HOW DO I INSTALL CORK WALL COVERING ROLL?
The best method is to use contact adhesive — for example, Wakol D-3540.
- Preparing the surface: Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and smooth.
- Use the adhesive: Apply Wakol D-3540 adhesive to both the wall and the back of the cork roll, using a brush or roller to create an even layer. Typical adhesive consumption is 150–250 g/m² — meaning 0.8 kg will cover around 4 m², and a 2.5 kg tub will cover roughly 12.5 m² of surface.
- Wait for the adhesive to turn transparent: Only then should you begin installation.
- Installing the roll: Gently press the cork roll onto the wall. The adhesive takes around 24 hours to fully cure.
WILL ROLLED CORK STICK TO AN UNEVEN WALL?
We do not recommend applying cork to uneven walls. It’s important that the surface is smooth, flat, and clean — otherwise, the cork may not adhere properly and could come away.
HOW DO I CLEAN CORK?
A slightly damp cloth or a soft duster is all you need. Rolled cork is very easy to maintain — thanks to its antistatic properties, it naturally repels dust.
IS CORK SUITABLE FOR BATHROOMS AND KITCHENS?
It works well in areas where humidity stays between 40 and 60 percent. However, it’s important to avoid soaking the cork with water.
HOW CAN I PROTECT CORK EFFECTIVELY?
It’s a good idea to use wood treatments — such as waxes, varnishes, stains, or oils — to help guard against moisture and damage. We also recommend using a care wax for ongoing protection.
WHAT IS THE GRAIN SIZE OF ROLLED CORK?
Rolled cork has a medium grain structure. This makes it ideal for applications such as corkboards, as it resists crumbling.
CAN I ORDER SAMPLES?
Yes, we do offer samples. It’s an easy way to assess the material and ensure it meets your expectations before placing a larger order.
Fed up with your walls getting dirty so quickly, paint chipping off, and every change costing time, money, and hassle? Over time, any room starts to look ‘tired’ — dust, fingerprints, scuffs, and sound bouncing off bare walls. The space you once saw as a sanctuary can soon become a source of frustration. Rolled cork offers a natural solution to these everyday challenges. It’s durable, antistatic, and easy to clean.

#1 DAILY COMFORT
Cork is ideal for everyday living because it’s wonderfully practical and low-maintenance. It doesn’t attract dust, so you won’t need to clean it often — an occasional wipe is all it takes.
It’s a material that doesn’t wear you down — quite literally, as it absorbs sound rather than reflecting it, creating a quieter, calmer room. Cork is also easy on the mind — no garish colours or loud patterns, nothing overwhelming. Surrounding yourself with cork has a soothing effect — after all, it’s a natural, living material, not plastic.
#2 A SPACE ON YOUR TERMS
Rolled cork gives you limitless possibilities to personalise your space. Whether it’s a creative nook at home, a calm and quiet office, or an organic, cosy interior — cork on the wall adapts to your everyday needs.
With a wide range of thicknesses available, you can create almost anything — from corkboards to effective insulation, as well as practical and attractive decorative features.
And here’s the key — it’s a roll, so you’re working with large-format material. This makes it easy to cover bigger areas without lots of visible joins. It’s the perfect choice if you’re planning a larger project — cladding an entire wall, adding a finish to built-in furniture, creating a background for your workspace, or designing a relaxing zone.
#3 A STEP CLOSER TO NATURE
These days, making mindful choices about materials matters more than ever. It’s not just about trends — it’s about the future. Cork is one of the very best alternatives to synthetic materials.
Every roll of cork is a testament to sustainability and respect for the environment. Cork is nothing more than the renewable bark of the cork oak, which regenerates every 9 to 12 years. The bark is harvested without cutting down the trees — unlike decorative timber, which is usually linked to deforestation. By installing rolled cork on your wall, you can proudly say you’ve brought a little piece of a Portuguese forest into your home — and the tree is still standing exactly where it should be.
#4 LONGEVITY AND DURABILITY
Compared to other finishing materials — such as vinyl or ceramic — cork offers some real advantages. It’s naturally warm and pleasant to the touch, making rooms feel more inviting and comfortable in everyday use.
Cork also helps regulate the indoor environment — not only does it repel dust, but it also supports balanced humidity levels within the room.
#5 A TECHNICAL MATERIAL
Though often associated with decorative use, rolled cork is also a technical material with countless practical applications.
You can cut it, shape it, and trim it to virtually any form — it’s easy to create gaskets, non-slip layers, soundproofing panels, coasters, and even components for technical or construction projects.
