Decorative expanded 3D facade wall cork

It’s a natural material created by heating granules of cork. When exposed to heat, suberin – a natural resin found in cork – is activated and acts as a binder. The result is a material with a darker, rich colour and a distinct texture – completely different from the light cork you’d usually see in noticeboards or bottle stoppers. Importantly, the colour comes purely from the heating process – there are no dyes, varnishes or synthetic adhesives involved.

And that colour really matters when it comes to facades – the darker surface not only hides dirt better but also gives the building an elegant, refined appearance.

Yes – it serves as thermal and acoustic insulation. Helps keep the warmth in during winter, the cool in during summer, and effectively dampens noise.

That’s a major advantage over many popular facade finishes such as architectural concrete, stone or composite panels. Those materials might look good, but they don’t insulate. Expanded cork does both – it enhances indoor comfort while giving your home a modern, natural look.

Yes – in many ways. Expanded cork retains its properties for decades (up to 50 years). It’s dimensionally stable and durable to changing weather conditions: rain, sun, frost and humidity. Over time, cork facades naturally develop a soft patina, gently changing in tone and texture – part of the material’s unique charm.

Importantly, in the event of a fire, cork doesn’t melt or release toxic fumes like synthetic materials do.
