MAC020, a sustainable acoustic and damping insulator
The MAC020 Heavy Mass Layer combines high performance with sustainability. It’s an effective solution for damping and sound insulation that can be used in various means of transportation.
Benefits
Cork provides comfort (thermal, acoustic and walking), it is a hypoallergenic solution, and has high durability and low maintenance costs. A floor that contains at least two cork components benefits from a high acoustic performance, both in terms of insulation for adjacent rooms and in terms of inside comfort in a livi…
Main Goal
The main goal of this body of work is to demonstrate the versatility and potential of a material with centuries of history - cork - which is still used today in different areas because of its technical characteristics. Cork can simultaneously be light, strong, waterproof, an excellent insulator (thermal and acoustic) a…
A Story of Heritage and Sustainability
Thanks to its low thermal conductivity, cork is one of the best natural insulators. It stands out as a recyclable material with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, achieving high performance even at just 6 cm thickness, while also ensuring durability and strength for structures. When combined with other material…
What are the main characteristics of cork?
Lightness Cork is a very light raw material, weighing just 0.16 grams per cubic centimeter, and can float. Flexibility/compressibility Each cork stopper is made up of around 800 million airtight cells. Among them is a gaseous mixture which allows it to be compressed to around half its thickness, without losing any flex…
