& SERVICES ucts and services in the flooring industry... A CORKER OF A SHOW FOR
GRANORTE Granorte has recently exhibited at the Ecobuild building exhibition, showcasing its cork products and the ecological benefits that come with the natural material.
Granorte is a world-recognised cork specialist and has driven much innovation within new and novel uses for agglomerated cork. A multiple design award winner with its NuSpa concept, Granorte has championed cork as a material with real world performance benefits, as well as with renewable status.
A thermal and acoustic insulator, comfortable and durable, cork makes sense in a range of interior applications.
Scott Brady, of Granorte UK, said: “Cork is a natural material that’s incredibly versatile and adept at lending itself to many different applications.
“Visitors to our stand at this year’s Ecobuild exhibition discovered just how versatile it is, as we displayed everything from cork flooring through to our 3D wall tiles and even cork fabric.
“We’re really excited about the response we received at the exhibition and are looking forward to working with architects and designers to embrace the positive properties and wonderful natural aesthetic of cork in all sorts of interior projects.”
The bark of each cork tree can be harvested for up to 200 years without damage and Granorte uses the waste from the
wine stopper industry to produce many of its cork products. Any excess produced during the manufacturing process is also recycled, making sure as much of the natural material is used as possible.
