Noise reduction in industrial environments is not a luxury – it’s a necessity. Loud machinery and constant vibrations not only make day-to-day work difficult, but also affect health and productivity. The market is full of panels that, in theory, promise to improve matters, yet after a short time it becomes clear they lack durability – leaving your money wasted. That’s where BitCork Pro panels come in: a blend of natural cork and butyl, designed specifically to dampen industrial noise.

FAQ – Clearing up any doubts!
WHERE DO BITCORK NOISE REDUCTION PANELS WORK BEST?
This type of BitCork panel is particularly effective in industrial applications – wherever there’s a need to reduce technological noise, such as in production halls or around loud machinery.
They also perform exceptionally well as partitions between areas with different noise levels – for example, separating a production hall or a busy conference room from an office space, where quiet and focus are essential.
WHAT ARE BITCORK NOISE CANCELLING PANELS MADE OF?
They are layered acoustic panels – at the core lies a 3 mm layer of butyl, encased on both sides with natural cork. This combination is no accident – both materials are excellent at insulation, and together they form an even more effective barrier (a major advantage for industrial applications).
WHAT PANEL THICKNESS SHOULD BE CHOSEN FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS?
In industrial settings, panels with a 3 mm butyl core offer the best performance. There are four available options:
- 9 mm – an economical solution when basic soundproofing is sufficient,
- 11 mm – still budget-friendly, but with improved effectiveness,
- 13 mm – the optimal thickness for most applications,
- 15 mm – the premium option, providing maximum acoustic insulation.
HOW SHOULD BITCORK BUTYL CORK PANELS BE PROPERLY INSTALLED?
The best option for installation is a contact adhesive – we recommend Wakol D-3540. Before fitting the panels, make sure the surface is clean, dry, and even. This is essential to ensure the adhesive bonds properly and the panel stays firmly in place.
WHY IS CORK USED AS A MATERIAL FOR MACHINE INSULATION?
Cork is a natural material with excellent sound-absorbing properties. Its porous structure acts like a trap for sound waves – instead of bouncing off, the sound penetrates and disperses within the microscopic cells.
For this reason, cork has long been used both in domestic acoustic insulation (for example, to reduce echo and block sound transmission between rooms) and in industrial applications – wherever machine noise, vibrations, or reverberation in large spaces need to be effectively reduced.
WHY IS BUTYL USED IN PANELS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS?
Butyl is a dense and flexible material that, thanks to its structure, effectively blocks the transmission of sound – particularly the most challenging ones: low frequencies and vibrations generated by heavy equipment and machinery.
When combined with natural cork, it forms a highly efficient acoustic barrier – the butyl stops the noise, while the cork further disperses and absorbs sound waves. This makes BitCork panels effective even in demanding conditions – where ordinary foams or acoustic mats simply fall short.
Technological noise is one of the toughest challenges in the workplace. It not only makes communication and concentration difficult but, over time, also affects team comfort and productivity. In environments where sound from machinery bounces off every surface, practical solutions are essential. BitCork panels, combining butyl and natural cork, effectively reduce sound transmission. They offer a straightforward way to improve working conditions, organise space more efficiently, and protect against the harmful effects of noise.
#1 NOISE INSULATION AND MACHINE SOUNDPROOFING
In industrial environments, noise is more than just a nuisance – it’s a genuine obstacle to work and concentration. Loud machinery, ventilation systems, production lines, and technical equipment generate sounds that travel through walls, resonate within spaces, and distract those working nearby. That’s why BitCork panels are primarily used to reduce technological noise – wherever an effective barrier is needed between the source of the sound and the working area.
But this solution isn’t limited to heavy equipment. BitCork is also an excellent way to insulate rooms with different functions and noise levels – for instance, separating a conference room full of lively discussion from an office where focus matters. By limiting sound transmission, you gain greater control over your workspace and create conditions that genuinely support productivity.
#2 EFFECTIVE BUTYL CORK SOUNDPROOFING PANELS
Cork, with its porous structure, effectively disperses sound waves in the mid and high frequencies. It’s ideal wherever echo and reverberation need to be reduced – for example, in large technical rooms, conference halls, or staff areas near production lines.
Butyl works differently – its density and flexibility allow it to block low frequencies, such as vibrations from machinery, equipment rumble, or other bass sounds that usually pass through most lightweight materials as if they were paper.
By combining these two layers, you get a barrier that not only absorbs, but also blocks sound. This means more effective soundproofing in demanding conditions – without compromises or makeshift solutions.
#3 WHEN FOAMS AREN’T ENOUGH
Many investors, especially when introducing acoustic insulation for the first time, tend to choose the cheapest possible options – thin foams, lightweight plastic mats, or slim cladding sheets. These materials may work for a short while, but in industrial conditions their effectiveness and durability quickly fade.
For loud machinery, vibrations, and equipment generating high levels of noise, you need materials that can truly handle the challenge. That’s precisely why BitCork panels – combining cork and butyl – offer a far more effective and, above all, longer-lasting solution. After all, in an industrial environment, the goal isn’t to dampen sound temporarily, but to achieve reliable performance over time – without the need for seasonal fixes.
#4 CORK – NATURAL MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Although often associated with simple, everyday uses (like a pinboard or a wine stopper), cork is now one of the most remarkable materials applied in industry. Importantly, harvesting cork doesn’t require cutting down trees. The bark is carefully stripped by hand without harming the tree itself.
As a result, cork has one of the lowest carbon footprints among insulating materials. And unlike foams or plastics, it is fully biodegradable.
