Agglomerated cork rolls - sheets in rolls
Are you looking for a durable and aesthetic wall covering that reduces your electricity bills? Cork in rolls for walls combines all these advantages! Think about it: wallpapers fade, paints peel quickly, and plastic panels offer neither natural aesthetics nor quality. As for insulation? They fall short there too! Cork rolls help reduce heating bills by up to 30%! Cork in rolls for walls is ideal not only for walls, but also for DIY projects, as a technical material, insulation, or to create a large corkboard.
I’m sure you’ve got some questions, so let us answer them.
WHICH THICKNESS OF CORK ROLL FOR WALLS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
- 0.8 mm: The ultra-thin cork wall roll is perfect for small DIY projects. You can use it to cover furniture, create decorations, or coasters. Ideal for DIY!
- 2-4 mm: These cork roll thicknesses are excellent for decorative and protective layers on walls.
- 5-10 mm: This cork roll is for you if you need a functional cork board. These thicknesses allow push pins, so you can use an MDF or plywood backing to create the board.
- 10 mm and above: The thicker rolls are great for thermal and acoustic insulation. If you want to improve your home’s comfort, reduce noise, and give your walls a natural look, this thickness is ideal.
CORK ROLLS OR SHEETS – WHICH TO CHOOSE?
Cork roll for walls is a great choice for large projects. You can avoid visible seams, giving you a smooth, uniform surface. Don’t forget, before using it, to prepare the roll – unroll it and let it rest for a few hours to flatten out.
However, if you are working on a smaller project and don’t need a seamless surface, cork sheets are more practical. They are ready to use immediately without needing to flatten them, saving you time and effort.
CAN I APPLY CORK ROLL TO AN UNEVEN WALL?
We do not recommend it. For natural cork to be stable and serve you for many years, it is important that the wall you install it on is flat, smooth, clean, and dust-free. This ensures better adhesion and a more solid structure.
WHEN TO USE STANDARD CORK ROLL AND WHEN SELF-ADHESIVE CORK ROLL?
If you’ve got a big project ahead, where cork needs to be cut into specific sizes or shapes, it’s better to choose cork roll without adhesive. This gives you more flexibility to tailor the material to your needs and makes installation easier by allowing you to use the appropriate adhesive for the surface and conditions.
On the other hand, if you want a quick and easy installation, the self-adhesive cork roll is a better choice. The adhesive backing allows for easy application on smooth, flat, clean surfaces like plasterboard or furniture. It’s perfect for areas where you need a quick result without extra tools or glue.
Tired of constantly repainting your walls? Fed up with dust on damaged wallpaper and stone cladding (especially 3D)? You can change that without painting – in a simple, fast, and effective way. Cork wall roll is an easy way to give your interiors a new look while saving on future renovations. Natural cork is known for its durability and ease of maintenance, keeping its beautiful appearance for 10-15 years or more with proper care. To ensure its longevity, cork wall roll should be cleaned regularly with a dry or damp cloth and should avoid excessive sun and moisture exposure.

Your home is never quiet because you always hear your upstairs neighbours' footsteps or the busy street outside? Heating bills go up each month even though you think you’re using the same amount? Cork wall roll has excellent insulating properties – it reduces noise and retains heat, which lowers heating costs. This means more peace and warmth at home, and extra savings in your wallet!
Finally, if you care about the environment, natural cork will surely appeal to you. It is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees, but don’t worry – the trees aren’t cut down! Only the bark is removed, and it naturally regenerates every 9 to 12 years. Interestingly, cork oak plantations absorb up to five times more carbon dioxide than other forests, contributing to reducing greenhouse gases!
