WHY TO USE CORK
Cork is a rare and special gift from Nature !
Cork is the bark of the cork oak (Quercus Suber), a noble tree that grows in the Mediterranean regions, especially in Portugal, and which allows cork to be removed every decade. It is extracted from cork oaks without ever harming the normal development of the species and without damaging the tree. The first extraction of cork occurs, usually, when the tree reaches between 25 and 30 years, and the extraction occurs in the months of June to August. From the first withdrawal, the cork is extracted every nine years.
Cork has numerous special and unique qualities , very light, waterproof, biodegradable, remarkably resistant to friction and an excellent thermal insulation. Antistatic and hypoallergenic.
It is a raw material 100% natural and environmentally friendly that has been taking over the history of the most diverse uses and applications.
