Rolled Composition Cork for Sound Control and Underlayment

Cork underlayment, a lower density material is becoming more and more accepted as an economical and well performing alternative for sound insulation in building construction

Cork composition material in rolls or sheets is also the ideal underlayment for laminate flooring as it absorbs sound and provides resiliency.

BASIC USES
- Sound control
- Stress crack protection
- Underlayment for ceramic tile & hardwood floors

ADVANTAGES
- 200 million air cells per cubic inch for sound reduction
- Sufficient compression ratio to avert cracking of tile and grout
- Protection from existing or future minor stress cracks in subfloors
- Ease if installation no curing time or messy mixing required
- Low height requirement
- Resistant to moisture
- Thermal insulation
- Million of square feet installed failure free

LIMITATIONS
- Indoor use only
- Not recommended where hydrostatic pressure exists
- Not recommended to bridge expansion joints or control joints
- Not recommended to be used for tiles 4 x 4 or smaller

Cork is the name given to the bark of the cork oak, a tree from the beech family, characteristic of western Mediterranean countries.The bark acts as a protective shell to the harsh climate changes and numerous fires affecting the region.Cork trees are stripped of their bark every nine to fourteen years, the tree is never cut and the habitat remains undisturbed.The properties of cork are derived naturally from the structure and chemical composition of the inner cells. Each cubic centimeter of cork’s honeycomb structure contains between 30 and 40 million air cells.
