Cork Shield Works specializes in cork insulation. Cork is a natural, greener and renewable resource that will save and will last for many years. Cork will never reach a freezing point and will never go over 86 degrees fahrenheit therefore it is a thermal barrier for your home or business. That means it will keep your home or business warm during the winter and cool during the summer. You can also have peace of mind knowing that cork is flame retardent. Cork is non combustible, does not propagate flames nor does it release incandescent particles. It is a zero fire rating. Call to today for details
Every 9 to 10 years the bark of the Quercus Suber (Cork Oak tree) is harvested. The removal of the bark allows the tree to grow bigger. The tree itself will live for hundreds of years allowing for many more harvests. Once the bark is removed, the tree will release large of amounts of oxygen, benefiting our environment.
Cork is naturally fire retardant, it will not release incandescent particlesnor will the flames propagate.
Cork is a semi-permeable buoyant material composed of suberin, a hydrophobic substance that prevents mildew growth. Cork naturally has elastic and fire retardant properties as well.
Cork contains a fatty acid, suberin, which repels rot and prevents mold and mildew growth. In recent lab tests, our product developed zero mold growth.
Cork prevents water from passing through but allows water vapour to escape, preventing rot.
Because we dye each mixture on site with our own proprietary pigments, we are seeing less than 1% fade annually, compared to the 5-10% average that comes with traditional paint and stucco.
The bark of the cork tree is removed every nine years causing large amounts of oxigen to be released by the tree into the environment. Thermal CorkShield is a greener naturally renewable resource.
We recently scored a 0 flame spread in the CAN/ULC S102-18. This rating means that flames will not easily or quickly spread over your wall surface which adds precious time in an emergency.
In the same test, we scored a 10/450 on smoke development. With smoke often being the most harmful part of any fire emergency, this is a rating we can be proud of. During this test, lab techs reported that there was no visible surface ignition.
Free from harsh chemicals and solvents, making it a product safe to use inside your home or commercial space, and more environmentally friendly.
In recent lab tests ASTM G21-2015, samples received a rating of 10. There was zero defacement on the test specimens at the completion of the mold resistance evaluation.
