A cork roll 5mm is an excellent choice if you want to create a practical surface for pinning notes, photos, or plans. We know that thinner materials often fall short, as pins don’t hold well, while thicker options can be difficult to cut and install. The 5mm roll solves both issues. Pins go in effortlessly, and with its versatile thickness, it’s perfect for a variety of projects!
Remember, to create a corkboard, you’ll need more than just natural cork itself – a good backing is essential. But don’t worry, something as simple as a porous board will do the trick. Just attach natural cork as the top layer, and you’ll have a stable, almost metal-like surface while keeping it light and warm as a charming room addition.
The 5mm natural cork will elevate the comfort of your room and visually warm up the space with its natural texture, straight from sunny Portugal. Installing the roll is hassle-free, as it’s virtually weightless – like a feather! You’ll save over an hour of time and five times the energy compared to other materials, and most importantly, you’ll get the job done stress-free! All you need is a knife for natural cork, but don’t worry – a standard wallpaper knife from home will work too. We offer one just in case you don’t have it, because no one wants to run to the shop when there’s a project waiting at home!
Here’s an interesting fact to end on – each hectare of cork oak forest absorbs a remarkable 14 million tons of CO₂ annually. That’s equivalent to planting over 21,000 trees in one place! And unlike wood, harvesting natural cork is completely non-invasive – it doesn’t involve cutting down trees but instead involves carefully hand-stripping the bark every 9–12 years, a tradition upheld by local communities in Portugal.
