Take a look for yourself on how cork underlayments perform when compared to foam!

Resistance to Wear: Cork resists compaction and degradation, even with intensive use. Lower Maintenance Needs: Its structure supports long-term consistency and reduces upkeep costs.

The use of Amorim Expandacork will provide a positive contribute allowing the construction elements to contract and expand, consequentely avoiding cracks and lowering its maintenance ratio. Selecting the right material to apply to expansion joints is critical to ensure safety and durability in construction. Cork-based…

Long Term Durability

Report - Long-Term Durability EN

This flexibility allows the company to meet the demanding specifications of railway infrastructure projects without compromising dimensional accuracy, long-term durability or mechanical and acoustic performance.

"Cork. Naturally Durable” - the new creative campaign from Amorim Cork Solutions - emphasizes the exceptional durability and sustainability of cork-based underlayments, which provide long-term performance that reduces the need for frequent floor replacements, ultimately extending the lifespan of your floor.

In a project where nature plays a leading role, cork was also a natural choice from a sustainability perspective. As a natural, renewable and recyclable material, it supports a more responsible approach to interior design while delivering long-term performance and durability.

Cork-based infills are designed to allow functional suitability, striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and environmental compatibility, material durability and multi-functionality.   The infills’ elasticity and natural appearance and touch improves players’ comfort. The long-term wear resistance and the right s…

100% produced from recycled and natural materials, such as cork, Acousticork underlays and underscreeds are sustainable and constitute the best solution for excellent impact noise and thermal insulation, long-term resilience and durability. The same material was also chosen for the VIP area of the Cape Town Stadium dur…

Inspired by biophilic design principles, the flooring is completely PVC-free, combining natural aesthetics with reliable technical performance. Its durability and resilience make it especially suited for active, high-demand interiors, ensuring long-term performance without compromising comfort.

In this context, Amorim MD Façade® was applied in two layers of 40 mm each, creating an 80 mm cork envelope that adds natural insulation, breathability, and long-term durability. The facade requires very little maintenance and helps stabilize indoor comfort, while its renewable origin significantly reduces the project’…

We develop natural cork and cork-based infills specifically for artificial turf systems, engineered to meet strict construction standards that ensure consistent performance and help prevent common field issues.   Our infills deliver the perfect balance of cost efficiency and environmental responsibility, providing exce…

Professional football venues require synthetic turf systems that can deliver: • reliable biomechanical performance under intensive use   • controlled surface temperature in warm climates   • consistent energy restitution and shock absorption   • long-term durability with stable material behaviour In high-profile stadiu…

Cork is harvested without harming the tree and offers thermal acoustic insulation and natural long term durability. In this project, the expanded cork provides a warm, textured base for the building’s façade, contrasted by sleek black metal panels above. Over time, the cork will naturally weather to a lighter tone, enh…

Shock pads are the foundation layer beneath artificial turf systems, delivering consistent performance, player safety, and long-term durability. At Amorim Sports, our shock pads are engineered with cork — a natural, renewable, and high-performance material — to combine resilience, comfort, and environmental responsibil…

In the evolving landscape of rail infrastructure, the demand for sustainable, high-performance materials is vital. While often a “quiet” component in the system, the rail pad – sitting between the rail and the sleeper – is central to achieving high durability and lower environmental impact. Amorim Cork Solutions has de…

Amorim Sports' cork-based infill solutions are designed to combine advanced technical performance with the intrinsic advantages of a renewable raw material. By leveraging cork’s resilience, durability, and thermal behaviour, these solutions support the development of high-performance sports environments aligned with lo…

Equally important is the range of material combinations and thicknesses available. Railway infrastructure is subject to highly variable conditions, from differences in axle loads to environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations. By combining different material formulations, such as and natural and recycled rub…

Amorim ETP700 is a combination of cork and silicone, that has been developed to achieve exceptional fire retardant and a low compression coefficient, while helping to reduce the system's environmental impact. These properties make it an ideal solution for sealing electric batteries that require enhanced safety measures…

Exceptional shock absorption: Cork's natural cellular structure acts as microscopic air cushions, absorbing energy and protecting athletes from injury.   Outstanding elasticity and durability: Cork granules compress and rebound without permanent deformation, maintaining surface integrity over time.   Reduced surface te…

Long-term ageing assessments have revealed that rubber seals often suffer from local fractures, bending and warping, due to lateral flow and thermal expansion. By contrast, Amorim Tech Seal cork composite joints retain their shape and have very low extrusion, preserving the integrity of the seal over time. This durabil…

Amorim Cork Solutions’ Acousticork range, specially developed for building industry, is now more complete with these two vibration control materials, made of engineered compounds with cork and natural rubber. Acousticork VC1005 and VC1006 are suitable for vibration control applications that require very high isolation…
