The changing of energy to heat which reduces the amount of energy which can be reflected.

On the other hand, in the case of equipment that visitors can interact with, freely using the swings, it was necessary to prepare the floor for the absorption of high impacts in the event of falls. For this purpose, expanded cork was applied in the impact zones, providing cushioning for falls from heights of 2-3 metres…

Low water absorption

Excellent impact absorption thus increasing the life time of the board

Comfort and safety with cork-based materials that improve shock absorption.

SPORTSFLOOR products are not only recyclable but also in compliance with both indoor air quality and low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emission requirements. It's the right choice for flooring surfaces requiring high levels of resilience, optimizing at the same time the comfort levels during sports practice or leis…

Since cork has low heat absorption when exposed to light, cork-based or cork infills reduce the turf’s surface temperature by up to 30%, when compared to other infill solutions, ensuring conditions for comfortable use, all year round.

The acoustical characteristics of a space or room influenced by the amount of acoustical absorption, or lack of it in the space.

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

The dissipation of vibratory energy in solid media and structures with time or distance. It is analogous to the absorption of sound in air.

Given its unique cellular structure, cork has a high shock-absorption capacity and thermal conductivity. These characteristics, together with a natural texture and appearance, make cork infills a non-aggressive solution for players, guaranteeing system performance and reducing wear and tear.

Cork has proved throughout decades its remarkable comfort performance. Cork aids in a better pressure distribution, producing a cushioning effect whilst simultaneously allowing feet to breathe and controlling foot temperature. Our products enhance foot comfort by providing excellent shock absorption, cushioning, ground…

The part of the shoe between the very bottom and where the foot rests.  The midsole is a cushioning layer between the outsole and the upper. Various rubber and foam compounds are used for shock absorption. Generally, heavier-weight materials will be firmer and more durable.

For a design contest, I was looking for a genuine natural material with unique properties in terms of tactility and sound absorption. Our research led us to cork. So we decided to return to the source. Our first visit to the cork forest at harvest time was really magical. The discovery of the culture of cork, in its pu…

Damping is the dissipation of vibratory energy in solid mediums and structures over time and distance. Similar to the absorption of sound in air, damping occurs whenever there is any type of friction that diminishes movement and disperses the energy. Each material’s damping capacity is referred to as its loss factor, a…

The noise generated inside a room by floor traffic can drive anyone crazy, especially in high-traffic rooms. Amorim Underlays have made it their mission to reduce these noises significantly. Surfaces that incorporate cork underlays have high sound absorption, reducing considerably the percentage of generated noise.

Visitors to the "Hyundai Commission: SUPERFLEX: One Two Three Swing!" are now able to walk along a colossal cork installation, presented in the Tate Modern - one of the world's most respected contemporary art institutions. About 5,000 m2 of an innovative cork composite have been applied in Turbine Hall - an iconic spac…

A more comfortable home, day after day  Once the work is finished, the cork won’t be visible but you’ll feel its benefits every day. Cork’s low thermal conductivity and ability to store heat and release it little by little will prevent your home from overheating in summer days and help maintain a pleasant indoor temper…

The NRT technology allows the flooring manufacture to take advantage of the exclusive properties of cork as part of an unique engineered multilayer structure.A natural material with incomparable insulation and shock absorption features, cork provides superior comfort, noise reduction, thermal insulation and resistance.…

• 2 in 1 solution: pre- attached vapor barrier for moisture protection • Produced from recycled and natural materials • Recycling footwear derived EVA foam – keeps millions of pounds non degrading material out of the environment • EVA foam – inert, non-toxic, used in all types of shoes, so is approved for skin conta…

To answer Spinneybeck criterias and demandings of its new collection, Amorim Cork Composites developed materials, processes and tools to produce the cork tiles designed by Lars Beller Fjetland.  Lisboa and Porto tiles are acoustically absorptive composite cork wall tiles composed of 1’-4” square modules that install ea…

It all started in January 2015 when Benjamin Pardo, executive vice president at Knoll, reached out to me. Both he and Roger Wall, president of Spinneybeck, had been interested in adding cork products to the Knoll and Spinneybeck collection. During their preliminary research they had come across some of my earlier work…
