What's CORK
Cork is a material that grows as the bark of the Cork Oak tree. The bark of the Cork Oak tree is harvested about every 9 or 10 years.
Cork is most commonly used for wine bottle stoppers, but it can also be found in Memo Boards, Flotation Devices, Coaster, Mat, Flooring, Wall tiles, Underlayment, and other more domestic or commercial use. Worldwide cork demand is on the rise primarily due to increasing decoration. Ramping up cork production, however, is a lengthy process since cork trees can only be harvested about once per decade. Synthetic cork has been developed to satiate the growing demand.
Cork bark is made up of a tiny sealed honeycomb cellular structure (14-sided polyhedrons) containing gas of 90% air. These cells provide resiliency (cushion) and insulation and there are about 40 million of these cells per cubic centimeter. Cork can be compressed up to 40% and quickly returns to its original shape. This all works to make cork a very special material.
Cork is one of the most beautiful and comfortable material options available. Cork products is environmentally friendly and cork is considered a renewable and sustainable natural resource. Our cork products are also excellent thermal and sound insulator, good shock absorber, friction resilience, and water-proof, pest resilient, etc...
