A typical load for a flooring system is the dynamic load, which is generated when walking over the flooring (e.g. hallways, offices, shop floors, etc.) or when chairs are used (e.g. office chairs rolling on castors, dining room chairs scraping back from the table, etc.). Here, the underlay needs to be able to withstand…

The Dynamic Load Test is conducted in a laboratory. It simulates the pressure exerted on the floor, caused by the movement of people, suitcases with wheels (trolleys) and office chairs with castors, among others. To be effective, the underlayment must be able to withstand such pressure without losing its absorption cha…

Embracing new cork challenges

Dubois designed a set of modular pieces whose shapes depict various architectural periods, from the 1451 "Palazzo Rucellai by Alberti" to the 1972 "Muralla Roja". The material chosen for the project was cork - natural granulated cork and expanded granulated cork – which fully satisfied the project’s structural and visu…

The track’s vertical dynamics are a significant part of the stresses exerted on the structure as well as the level of vibration and noise transmitted, hence the track is influenced by the incorporation of elastic elements, their dynamic properties, and the way these are arranged on the structure leads to a considerable…

Compared to 100% foam underlayments, cork solutions are more durable, resistant and eco-friendly. The latest tests, including dynamic load and creep tests, have demonstrated that cork underlayments deliver better performance results. For more detailed information, please visit the page https://corknaturallydurable.com/…

Esparza adds that the dynamic color and texture of the cork, and even its subtle natural scent, create a completely unique sensory experience of the architecture. As the installation progressed, the team recognized the aesthetic and tactile potential of the material, expanding its use beyond insulation to include featu…

The success of the project lies on the multidisciplinary skills of the different partners involved. A key role was played on the new type of materials specifically proposed for the project. The solution delivers a multifunctional system, which can withstand the very high thermal payloads and dynamic loads associated wi…

These poufs made of cork, designed by Matthias Salaets, communicate well the characteristics that make cork such a desirable material for furniture design. The soft touch and great adaptability of cork ensures it provides the desired comfort while sitting down waiting for someone or just to watch passers-by in the muse…

Perfect for your home, as well as offices, businesses, and schools. In the office, you can use cork boards or rolls to organize tasks and deadlines, or in children's rooms to display artwork and schedules. In business settings, these products are ideal for meeting rooms, where they can be used for brainstorming and pro…

This building in the University of Science and Technology in Krakow is a multi-purpose building. Building a TV studio on the 2nd floor without provoking noise-related complaints required a floating floor system to be installed. Furthermore, modern floor designs tend to be lighter in weight and include longer spans, and…

All anti-vibration pads/materials, components and systems have a natural frequency (fn). In case of the anti-vibration pad the natural frequency, fn, is dependent upon the stiffness of the pad material, K, and the mass of the load that it is supporting (M). In elastomeric materials the fn is not only defined by the act…

For the Venture Craft office project, the idea was to create acoustic artwork using three-dimensional cork panels in combination with upholstery. Wall art is such an essential part of office design these days, but so is acoustics. It seemed to be a very natural step to combine the two. For the Duo Residence Show Suite,…

Building a holistic STILL retreat, a kind of “thermal spa for the mind”, that could be a creative approach to illustrate how cork can be used in its purest sense. Elevating cork in a museological, hospitality project, strongly connected to its source where humans from all over the world would come to enjoy stillness to…
