Cork granules

Are all granules the same? Not at all. At first glance, they may look alike, but one crumbles in your hands, another quickly loses its properties, and a third is about as eco-friendly as plastic straws. And that’s where the problems begin: shorter lifespan, frustrating installation, and frequent replacements (which, of course, means more expenses). Cork granules are one of the few materials that are durable and lightweight. You can choose from various options, ranging from fine cork dust to specialised granules for specific applications.

You probably have a few questions, so we’ve put together the answers!

WHAT IS CORK GRANULE?

It’s natural cork that has been ground into different fractions – ranging from fine dust to medium and larger granules.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CORK DUST AND CORK GRANULES?

The main difference is size:

Cork dust is the finest form of natural cork, similar in texture to flour.
Granulated cork consists of larger particles in various fractions. It’s not as fine as cork dust.

DOES GRINDING NATURAL CORK AFFECT ITS QUALITY?

No, natural cork retains its properties – flexibility, moisture resistance, and insulation.

IS CORK GRANULE AVAILABLE IN BULK QUANTITIES?

We offer granules in various quantities – from smaller packs to bulk deliveries. If you can’t find an option that suits your needs, drop us an email – we’ll find a solution for you!

IS NATURAL CORK REALLY ECO-FRIENDLY?

Yes, natural cork is one of the most sustainable materials. It is harvested without cutting down trees – the bark of the cork oak regenerates every 9–12 years, making the process entirely sustainable.

Natural cork is 100% biodegradable, recyclable, and absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere. Plus, its processing requires minimal energy.

WHAT ARE CORK GRANULES USED FOR?

There are countless applications!

In construction, it serves as thermal and acoustic insulation.
It is used as an eco-friendly infill for synthetic grass and in the production of lightweight sports surfaces and playgrounds.
In art and design, it works as a decorative material – particularly as a sand imitation in theatres and operas.
In gardening and floristry, it is used for creating decorations.
Fine cork dust is used in fishing – it is incorporated into the production of floating baits.

IS CORK GRANULE BIODEGRADABLE?

Yes, it’s a natural material that decomposes in the environment without harming nature.

Cork dust, cork granules, and larger cork pieces are versatile solutions, but some cork granules are designed for specific tasks. Expanded cork granules are the best choice for insulation. Cork infill for synthetic grass is an eco-friendly alternative to rubber granules – it enhances surface elasticity and reduces heat buildup. Granulated cork for pressure moulding enables the precise creation of cork components in specific shapes, such as decorations, gaskets, panels, and technical parts.

It’s often said that the heavier the material, the more durable it is, but natural cork defies this rule. It is lightweight, yet durable – doesn’t require specialised tools and can be adapted to various needs.

A few years ago, eco-friendly solutions in construction were rare, but today they are becoming the norm. In many applications, plastic can be replaced with natural cork – and more and more families and businesses are making the switch. Cork granules are not only sustainable but also durable. They perform well in areas where synthetic materials were once used. From infill and shock absorbers to lightweight technical components, cork granules successfully replace plastic alternatives.
