A cork underlay for your interior - what we know about cork
Natural cork comes from cork oak, a fairly rare species of plant that occurs in Portugal, France, Spain and Italy. Although debarking a tree is an interference with the plant's life, it is carried out gently enough not to damage it. In this way, the same individual can become a new "donor" of the bark in about 10 years. This flexible and light raw material is an ecological product that does not require any chemical additives during its preparation. Therefore, it is increasingly replacing such insulating materials as polystyrene, a product harmful to the environment. In addition, cork has properties that are extremely beneficial for people dealing with this raw material. It is a very good insulator that protects against cold when used as a cork under panels or parquet or tiles.
