FEATURES & MORE
1. Lightweight: Cork bark has a low density, making it exceptionally lightweight, which is beneficial for transport and handling.
2. Durable and Resilient: Cork can withstand compression and returns to its original shape. This resilience helps it resist impact, making it useful in areas like construction and insulation.
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.
5. Hypoallergenic: Cork is resistant to dust, which makes it a suitable choice for those with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.
6. Biodegradable: Harvesting cork doesn’t harm the cork oak tree, as only the outer bark is stripped, allowing the tree to regrow its bark. This makes it a sustainable and eco-friendly resource.
7. Aesthetic Appeal: Cork bark has a natural, rustic look, with unique textures and colors, making it popular in interior design and for creating naturalistic habitats in reptile and amphibian enclosures.
These qualities make cork bark versatile for uses in flooring, wall panels, crafts, vivarium and terrarium decorations, and many other products.
