Natural Cork: A Precious Material Derived from Nature
Cork is sourced from the bark of the Mediterranean cork oak — a sustainable, natural, and eco-friendly material with a unique honeycomb cell structure.
Cork is sourced from the bark of the Mediterranean cork oak and is a sustainable, natural, and eco-friendly material. We carefully select high-quality cork granules and use environmentally friendly processes to create a 2mm-thick cork base, preserving its natural texture and elasticity. The unique honeycomb cell structure of cork acts like countless tiny shock-absorbing airbags, giving the material its distinct resilience and responsive feel. This natural characteristic provides a warm, tactile experience and inherent sound insulation, offering gentle yet solid support for flooring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What type of flooring is the CORK 20-AF underlayment compatible with?
The CORK 20-AF underlayment is suitable for use with laminate, hardwood, bamboo, and vinyl flooring. Its flexible 2mm cork base adapts well to various subfloor surfaces, providing reliable support across different flooring types.
Q

The CORK 20-AF achieves an IIC (Impact Insulation Class) rating of 50db and an STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating of 46db. These ratings indicate the underlayment's strong ability to reduce both impact noise (such as footsteps) and airborne sound transmission between floors.
Q
Is this cork underlayment water resistant?
Yes. The CORK 20-AF features an extremely low water absorption rate of less than 0.1%, making it highly resistant to moisture. This helps protect your flooring from potential damage caused by humidity or minor water exposure.
Q
How is cork an eco-friendly and sustainable material?
Cork is harvested from the bark of Mediterranean cork oak trees without cutting them down. The bark naturally regenerates over time, making cork a fully renewable resource. The production process uses environmentally friendly methods, and cork's natural properties eliminate the need for additional chemical additives.

The CORK 20-AF is available in Nude, Pallet, or Carton packaging options to suit different shipping and storage needs. A 20GP container can hold approximately 12,000 sqm (129,000 sq.ft), while a 40HC container accommodates up to 27,000 sqm (290,000 sq.ft).
Q
What is the thermal insulation performance of this cork underlayment?
The CORK 20-AF has a thermal insulation value of 0.05 W/mK, which means it effectively reduces heat transfer through the floor. This helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and can contribute to energy efficiency in both residential and commercial settings.
