Insulation:

Cork has one of the best insulating capacities, thermal and acoustical, of all natural substances. This is due to the fact that the gaseous elements are sealed in tiny, impermeable compartments, insulated one from the other by a moisture resistant material.

Fire retardant:

Cork is a natural fire retardant as it does not spread flames and does not release toxic gases during combustion.

Hypoallergenic:

Cork does not absorb dust and, consequently, does not cause allergies nor pose a risk to asthma sufferers.

Biodegradable, recyclable and renewable:
Cork is a natural raw material which is 100% biodegradable, recyclable and renewable.
