A house built almost entirely from cork, with low carbon emissions and whose components are recyclable at the end of its life cycle. This is the proposal from a group of British architects to promote ideas about the environmental impact of the construction industry. Created by Matthew Barnett Howlandwith Dido Milne and…

Cork-based materials have become prime building materials in world-class projects such as these buildings. In addition to the quality of the material and its insulation properties, such buildings have to comply with green construction and sustainable building principles and efficient use of natural and energy resources…

How can we make the construction industry more sustainable? Cork presents a series of other characteristics that make it a raw material that offers a broad field of applications in building construction and rehabilitation.

The underscreed selected for application in the eMedia Investments building was the Acousticork U38. Made from cork and recycled polyurethane foam, it guarantees excellent impact noise insulation in new and refurbished buildings.   In addition to the thermo-acoustic insulation properties, the U38 has a high load capaci…

The cork façade was supplied in the United States through Eco Supply, a distributor specializing in environmentally responsible building materials. Based in Virginia and serving projects nationwide, Eco Supply partners with manufacturers such as Amorim Cork Solutions to make innovative, sustainable products accessible…

Acoustics is one of the most important criteria when it comes to insulation, as noise might be a discomfort factor in buildings. Noise easily spreads throughout buildings using its’ elements as sound transmitters. The solution found to reduce noise impact and improve thermal insulation properties is decoupling the elem…

Yes. We will see a growing market for sustainable products in the future. In addition to architectural features such as style, space requirements and furnishings, ethical aspects are also becoming increasingly important for people.  Customers are looking for natural building materials (if possible derived from circular…

In this project, U85 underscreeds from the Acousticork by Amorim range were used. When applied to the floor between the structural slab and the screed during construction, they significantly reduce the propagation of impact noise through the building structure. The selection of this solution is in line with the hotel's…

Enhanced Thermal Insulation: Cork has low thermal conductivity and excellent acoustic insulation, making it ideal for building insulation. Amorim MD Facade cork panels offer high resistance to both heat and cold, ensuring interior comfort. Aesthetic Versatility: Expanded cork used as a façade cladding material provide…

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…

This includes major works in Doha, in Qatar, such as the headquarters of the Qatar Foundation, the green line of the Doha metro network, the second phase of the orbital highway around the city or the motorway that connects Doha to the city of Lusail. Besides these references, we can also mention Bangkok airport, severa…

“The accelerated transition to a circular bioeconomy, based on improving the efficiency of the use of cork throughout the production process, including the remarkable 100% use of the material, is central to the future success of Corticeira Amorim”. She underlines: “Forest for Change, which will also address questions o…

The use of an underlayment is especially beneficial when combined with floors with historically poor acoustical performance, such as laminate floors. “Our tests clearly show that Go4Cork products ensure significant enhancements, helping to create quieter, more comfortable spaces”, said Susana Silva, Global Technical Ma…
