Baseplate gives the elastic support of the rail on rigid surfaces such as concrete slabs or steel bridges.

The distance an elastic body or spring moves when subjected to a static or dynamic force. Typical units are inches or mm.

Corkwall results from a mix of cork granulates and polymeric resins and is applied by projection. It is an elastic membrane that displays high level of durability and can cope with exposure to adverse climatic conditions.

Cork is the bark of the Cork Oak tree (Quercus suber L). It is a completely natural raw material, with unique properties which give it an unrivalled character. It is light, impermeable to liquids and gases, elastic and compressible, provides thermal and acoustic insulation, it is a fire retardant and highly abrasion-re…

Daily use exposes the flooring to various types of loads. The underlay allows the floor to support these loads without changing its properties. Given the intimate relationship between the elastic capacity and compressibility of cork-based materials, it is possible to ensure greater uniformity of the flooring over time.…

The development of this raw material begins very early in the tree. Cork develops different elements from the denser and harder outer layer to the less dense and more elastic inner layer. The different features of cork allow us to obtain raw material of several types completely different from each other in their shape…

MATERIA is a collection of everyday objects produced in cork. Each piece combines the unique personality and properties of cork with a contemporary glance from 12 different national and international studios and designers. Reusable and biodegradable, cork is one of the most versatile and sustainable raw materials in th…

By combining cork’s unique personality and sensory characteristics with a challenging design perspective, MATERIA is a collection of objects that fluidly and functionally fit into any contemporary environment and experience. Curated by experimentadesign, the collection is designed by 12 international designers and stud…

Cork’s elastic structure composed of closed air filled impermeable cells brings features such as noise and vibration attenuation as well as thermal insulation, making it a versatile core alternative for open and closed mold processes in the composites industry. Its specific formulation ensures a natural perforation for…

Reusable and completely biodegradable, cork  is one of the most versatile and sustainable materials in the world -environmentally, socially and economically. Impermeable to liquids and gases, elastic, compressible, highly resistant yet light and buoyant, cork's potential as a leading material for the 21st CENTURY is on…

Granulated cork has been increasingly used as an infill in artificial turf systems, offering significant advantages over plastic- or rubber-based synthetic infills.

Composed by a cork hull and a plastic add-on piece (a sail, a row of engine chimneys or a cabin) Bote is your ticket to plenty of imaginative seafaring.

This lidded ice bucket lined with a plastic inner casing capitalizes on cork's thermal insulation properties coupled with its unique texture. It maintains the low temperature inside, while the outer surface retains its natural warmth and pleasing, soothing feel.   So let the tipple flow and the good times roll.

What is the source of the chemical materials and elements used in plastic- and rubber-based infills? Despite the strict rules on raw materials that can be used to produce synthetic infills, concerns remain regarding the potential use of poorer-quality materials or materials from an unknown source. This is not the case…
