How to Integrate Cortex Plain Cork Material for Sewing Into Your Home décor and Furniture?

Here's a step-by-step guide to applying cork fabric and cork veneer, ensuring a flawless finish every time. Also check out our Cork Installation Tools!
 

• Acclimatise the Cork Material: Before installation, natural cork should be acclimatised in the room where you plan to install it – preferably for 72 hours.


• Choose the Right Adhesive: When it comes to applying cork paper or cork veneer to walls and furniture, the glue matters! Avoid overly fluid adhesives that can seep through the material. We recommend using typical upholstery or woodworking glues designed for thin and delicate fabrics or veneers. They provide the right balance of strength and gentleness to keep your cork looking perfect. For an even easier application, consider ordering our self-adhesive cork veneer (available separately in 640 × 940 mm sheets). It's a hassle-free option that guarantees a smooth, professional finish without the fuss of glues.


• Prep the Surface: Ensure the surface you're applying the cork to is clean, dry, and smooth. Any dust or debris could affect adhesion, so take your time with this step.


• Measuring and Cutting: Try the decorative veneer against the surface and measure the required size. Then, using the appropriate tools, precisely cut the cork veneer to dimensions. If there are electrical sockets or other features on the wall that require cutting holes in the veneer, do this carefully using a wallpaper knife.


• Position the Cork: Carefully place the cork fabric or veneer onto the surface. Start from one edge and gently smooth it down to avoid air bubbles and wrinkles.


• Press and Secure: Once in place, press down and use a soft cloth or roller to ensure complete contact with the surface.


• Trim and Tidy: If there's any overhanging cork, trim it for a neat finish. Take your time to get those crisp edges.


• Let it Set: Allow ample time for the adhesive to dry completely. Patience is crucial for a lasting application.
