Spray cork is a final coating applied mainly on the envelope of buildings, providing eco efficient insulation and protection.
Projected cork is applied using mechanical means such as an aero graphic spray gun with an air compressor and is suitable for façade renovation and new modular buildings.
It is widely regarded as one of the most environmentally friendly and eco efficient materials used in the building sector.
Natural Cork Composition
Cork Structure
Cork is derived from the cortex of the cork oak tree and is formed by cells with regular polyhedron faces creating a durable membrane.
Lightweight And Elastic
Cork is lightweight and 98 percent of its mass is air with elastic properties that allow it to recover its original form after pressure.
Thermal And Acoustic Insulation
Cork exhibits low conductivity for heat, sound, and vibrations making it an excellent insulating material.
Waterproof And Durable
Cork is waterproof, resistant to humidity, and can withstand high temperatures providing long lasting durability.
Spray cork enhances sustainability by using renewable or biosphere recycled materials with low levels of industrial processing.
It regulates home temperature and works as a thermal corrective reducing thermal bridges in façades walls and structures.
It avoids condensations due to its permeability to water steam and improves acoustic performance by minimising external and impact sound.
It guarantees durability with excellent endurance and does not require maintenance.
Spray cork has multiple uses and offers total adhesion on most materials including mortar metal wood PVC fibre cement and more.
It is suitable for façade coatings renovation waterproofing thermal correction and acoustic absorption.
It can also be used for sealing cracks reducing thermal bridges and protecting against humidity and condensation.
Its versatility makes it suitable for buildings industrial applications and specialised environments.
Spray Cork Performance
Temperature Control
Reduces thermal bridges in walls, façades, and architectural elements for stable indoor temperatures
Acoustic Control
Minimises impact and airborne noise with certified sound absorption according to NP EN ISO 354
Crack Prevention
Flexible material absorbs structural stress, preventing microfisures or micro-cracks from forming
Impact Absorption
Reduces rain noise (“drum effect”) as an impact sound absorber while adding waterproof protection
Condensation Control
Projected cork is very permeable and prevents condensation by allowing water vapour to escape
Long Durability
Guaranteed 25-year lifespan with excellent endurance and resistance with no maintenance required

Frequently Asked Questions
What is projected cork and how is it applied?
Projected cork is a final coating applied mainly on the building envelope using mechanical means such as an aero graphic spray gun with an air compressor. Corkshield applies spray cork solutions for effective insulation and protection.
Why is cork an effective insulation material?
Cork has low conductivity for heat, sound, and vibrations, is lightweight with a high air content, and offers excellent resistance to humidity and temperature. Corkshield uses cork based materials to deliver high performance insulation.
What are the main benefits of spray cork coatings?
Spray cork regulates temperature, reduces thermal bridges, improves acoustic performance, avoids condensations, and guarantees durability without maintenance. Corkshield coatings are designed to enhance building performance and longevity.
Where can spray cork be used in buildings?
Spray cork can be applied to façades, roofs, walls, ducts, and multiple surfaces including metal, wood, and fibre cement for insulation and waterproofing. Corkshield provides versatile solutions for a wide range of applications.
Thermal Performance
Cork’s natural thermal properties improve insulation, helping reduce heat loss and increase energy efficiency throughout your property. By regulating surface temperatures and reducing thermal bridging, it creates a more comfortable internal environment while supporting lower energy consumption and improved long-term performance.
Sustainable & Long-Lasting
Cork is a natural, sustainable material formed from the bark of cork oak trees, with a unique cellular structure that delivers exceptional durability. Its combination of resilience and eco-friendly performance makes it ideal for long-lasting coatings that contribute to CO₂ reduction and environmental responsibility.
Complete Protection
Cork coatings provide a protective barrier against moisture, helping prevent damp, condensation, and mould growth. Their breathable structure allows vapour to escape while maintaining protection, ensuring a healthier indoor environment and safeguarding your property from long-term structural and cosmetic damage.
