Agglomerated cork rolls
Looking for a wall covering that’s both stylish and functional, while saving you money on energy bills? Cork wall rolls offer the perfect solution! Consider this: traditional wallpapers fade over time, paint chips easily, and plastic panels just don't provide the same natural charm or quality. Plus, when it comes to insulation, they just don’t measure up. With cork rolls, you can lower your heating costs by up to 30%! Not only are cork rolls a fantastic option for your walls, but they also make a great material for DIY projects, insulation, or even crafting a large bulletin board.
Got questions? We’ve got answers!
WHAT THICKNESS OF CORK ROLL SHOULD YOU PICK FOR YOUR WALLS?
- 0.8 mm: Ideal for small DIY projects such as covering furniture, creating decorations, or making coasters. Perfect for quick, creative projects!
- 2-4 mm: These rolls are great for adding a decorative yet protective layer to your walls.
- 5-10 mm: If you're after a functional cork board, this is the thickness you need. Perfect for use with push pins and an MDF or plywood backing.
- 10 mm and thicker: Best for thermal and sound insulation. These rolls are perfect for enhancing comfort, reducing noise, and adding a natural touch to your walls.
CORK ROLLS OR SHEETS – WHICH IS BETTER?
If you’re working on a large project, cork rolls are your best bet. They provide a seamless, smooth finish and eliminate visible seams. Just make sure to let the roll sit for a few hours to flatten out before applying.
On the other hand, cork sheets are a great option for smaller projects. They’re ready to use right out of the box and don’t need any extra time to flatten, making them a time-saver for quick applications.
CAN CORK ROLLS BE APPLIED TO UNEVEN WALLS?
We recommend against it. For the cork to adhere properly and last for years, your wall needs to be smooth, clean, and level. A flat surface ensures the best adhesion and durability.
WHEN TO USE STANDARD CORK ROLLS AND WHEN TO GO WITH SELF-ADHESIVE CORK?
If you have a large project that requires cutting cork into specific shapes or sizes, a standard cork roll without adhesive is the better option. This gives you more flexibility and control over your installation, allowing you to choose the best adhesive for your needs.
If you're looking for a quick and easy installation, self-adhesive cork rolls are the way to go. The adhesive backing sticks easily to smooth, clean surfaces like plasterboard or furniture—perfect for projects where you need a fast, hassle-free solution.
Done with constantly repainting your walls? Sick of seeing dust accumulate on torn wallpaper or worn-out stone cladding (especially 3D designs)? You can solve these issues quickly, without the need for painting. Cork wall rolls provide an easy and effective way to transform your space, while also saving on future renovations. Natural cork is known for its longevity, keeping its appearance intact for up to 15 years with proper care. Regular cleaning with a dry or damp cloth, and avoiding excessive sun or moisture exposure, will help maintain its pristine look. Check our blog for more cleaning tips!
Is your home always noisy from your upstairs neighbors or traffic outside? Are your heating bills higher than expected despite maintaining the same usage? Cork wall rolls offer superb insulation – they help reduce noise and retain heat, keeping your home more comfortable and lowering your energy bills. Enjoy a quieter, warmer home while saving money!
If you're environmentally conscious, you'll love natural cork. It’s harvested from the bark of cork oak trees without harming the trees themselves! The bark naturally regenerates every 9 to 12 years. Cork oak forests absorb up to five times more CO2 than other forests, helping reduce greenhouse gases and promote sustainability.
