Why more and more people are choosing cork mortar

Over the past few weeks we have had the opportunity to deliver cork mortar to several customers. What is striking is the variety of applications and the reasons why people choose cork mortar. From heat protection to mold control, cork mortar proves time and again to be a smart and versatile solution. Here are some inspiring examples:

Maastricht: Protecting container house from heat

In Eijsden, Etiënne is conducting a test on one of his container homes. He wants to investigate whether a combination of cork mortar and ceramic paint helps sufficiently to keep the heat out. Containers heat up quickly in the sun, so this experiment offers valuable insights for sustainable solutions.

Homes: Cold and damp room above garage

Frans in Huizen is going to apply cork mortar to the space above his garage. This place is now often damp and cold, making it uncomfortable to use. Cork mortar helps regulate moisture and make the space more comfortable.

Amsterdam: Addressing mold problem

Mold is a common problem in homes with moisture problems. Marlou from Amsterdam suffers from mold and is going to use cork mortar to combat this problem naturally. Because of its breathable and moisture-regulating properties, cork mortar helps to stabilize humidity and reduce mold growth.

Texel: Insulation of a monumental house

Bert on Texel wanted to insulate his exterior wall, but thick insulation materials were not an option due to the monumental status of his house. Cork mortar combined with ceramic paint offered a solution that not only insulates, but also preserves the character of the house.

Drachten: Finishing on wood fiber insulation

In Drachten, Marcel uses cork mortar as a finish for wood fiber boards. This provides a durable, breathable finish that perfectly matches the properties of bio-based insulation materials such as wood fiber.

Tilburg: Insulating a house from 1906

Shasco in Tilburg plastered his 1906 workers’ home with cork mortar and then proceeded to paint with ceramic paint for additional insulation. This combination helps improve the thermal performance of the old house without compromising the breathability of the walls.

More and more people are discovering the benefits of cork mortar

Whether for heat protection, moisture control, mold control or insulation of listed buildings, cork mortar offers a natural and effective solution.
