High end solutions. Nature’s perfection.

STORK – TECHNOLOGY MEETS NATURE

“We offer high-end solutions, based on specialized know-how, magnifying the beauty and nobility of stone and cork, while respecting it.”

What is Stork?

A new patented  lightweight solution.

STORK stands for stone and cork and combines different, but highly appreciated, intrinsic characteristics from both natural materials.

The solution is designed in layers and, depending on the application, it uses the latest composite modelling strategies and production methods to become a nature blend of two highly valuable materials. A Portuguese company committed to take the best out of nature and transform the amazing characteristics of natural stone and cork into several projects. Amorim cork composites it's the cork supplier, and we couldn’t be happier with this partnership. Now, let's know more about stork ?

Stork Composition

Thin natural stone layer embedded in agglomerated cork through high resistance resin-fiberglass composite and showing structural adhesive properties.

Weight

Up to over 50% weight reduction per square meter which leads to significant cost savings on transport and handling, resulting in lower installation times and easy maintenance and repair.
Thermal

30 % increase in thermal efficiency when compared to natural stone. Thermal insulation compatible with major insulation projects using cork.
Acoustics

10 % reduction in noise transmission when compared to a standard natural stone. Improved sound absorption.
Elastic Recovery

Shape-memory solution when compared with standard lightweight stone cladding products.
Impact Strength

3 x higher impact strength and higher energy absorption when compared to conventional stone solutions or other brittle materials.
Durability

Core Adhesion STORK resists to a higher number of ageing cycles due to its composite DNA.
Moisture Proofness

Cork composite layer allows suitable flooring installation, enhancing stone capacity to react to moisture.
Thermal Fatigue

3 x higher impact strength and higher energy absorption when compared to conventional stone solutions or other brittle materials.
Ageing & Dynamic Endurance

STORK is the only natural stone cladding product not showing relevant damage after 10 million load cycles (2 times higher service load).
