3. Insulating Properties: Cork is a natural insulator, effective for both heat and sound. It maintains temperature well and is often used for soundproofing.
4. Water-Resistant: Cork is naturally water-resistant due to suberin, a waxy substance in its cell walls. This quality makes it resistant to mold and decay.
