1. Tree-friendly
Deforestation is a huge problem for the planet, with the area of primary forest worldwide decreasing by over 80 million hectares since 1990. No tree are felled during the harvest of the cork, which is stripped from trees without damaging them.
2. Carbon-negative
After bark is stripped, it’s regrows over the next decade, absorbing more carbon than it would in its normal state, making SprayCork a carbon-negative product.
3. Habitat protection
Deforestation damages the habitat of several creatures. With no trees felled, these animals can live their lives unimpeded, which is particularly important for endangered species like the Iberian lynx.
4. Sustainable
When trees are felled for manufacturing, it takes far too long for regrowth to keep up with demand, which soon becomes unsustainable. As it regenerates, cork oak is a truly sustainable product.
5. Zero waste
With some materials, the best bit is extracted, leaving the rest for landfill. Not cork, which is a zero-waste product – it’s all used in various industries.
6. Natural
Cork is a natural product, which is regenerative rather than finite and doesn’t require any mining.
7. Insulative
Once the coating is in place, it adds strong thermal insulation to interior or exterior walls, thus reducing the need for heating and helping to lower energy use and emissions.
8. Durable
When SprayCork is applied to a building, it sticks around. The coating comes with a 25-year warranty, ending the cycle of continuous maintenance and repairs – saving energy and reducing waste.
9. Hypoallergenic
SprayCork doesn’t contain any nasty chemicals, making it completely hypoallergenic. That also means no chemicals being released into the environment, as is the case with VOCs in most paint products.
10. Mould-resistant
As it’s insulative and breathable, SprayCork helps prevent condensation and black spot mould. This is another way in which it stops harmful toxins being released into your home – and the environment.
