A mosaic sheet made from post-industrial wine cork discs—by-products of Portugal’s wine industry—laid on paper backing. Harvested sustainably every 7–9 years, cork is anti-microbial, versatile, and an effective thermal and acoustic insulator.
RESOURCES
Versacork mosaic sheets are made from post-industrial wine cork discs, a sustainable by-product of Portugal’s cork industry, offering natural thermal and acoustic insulation, elasticity, and slip resistance.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Cork is harvested sustainably from the outer bark of cork oak trees without harming them, regenerates every 7–9 years, stores atmospheric carbon in its cells, and is utilized by-products from the wine industry, thereby reducing waste.
HUMAN HEALTH
The material is naturally anti-microbial, low in VOCs, soft and warm to the touch, reducing shock and sound transmission, making it safe and comfortable for indoor environments.
SOCIAL EQUITY
Versacork supports the Portuguese cork industry, which employs traditional harvesting techniques, promotes sustainable forest management, and maintains cork plantations that provide long-term ecological and economic benefits to local communities.
