Cork

To meet the need to insulate “according to nature“, Coverd has developed innovative practical technologies regarding the light natural cork, completely manufactured and processed in Italy.

The light cork, obtained from the bark of the “Quercus Suber“, without cutting the tree but through its cultivation for the further crop after ten years, has been used for centuries for the manufacture of wine bottles caps.

The successful idea was to make it the best product for the thermal and acoustic insulation in the building industry, obtaining a material of extremely high quality with limited transformation processes (seasoning of the bark, boiling, grinding, assembly of granules in panels).

The light cork is

• Ethical, thanks to the processing cycle that occurs without labour exploitation
• Eco-friendly, because the cork processing and its transformation is performed with renewable energy, photovoltaic for the production of electrical energy and biomass, obtained by processing scraps, for the production of the required thermal energy
• Zero impact, because the processing cycle doesn’t involve CO² emissions, from the production to the final use, in full compliance with the environment.
