What is spray cork? 🤔
Spray cork is a thin finishing layer applied to your facade using a spraying technique. It consists of fine cork granules mixed with a binding agent. The result is a seamless, elastic and protective coating.
Thanks to the natural origin of cork, this material is also an environmentally friendly choice. And that is far from its only advantage!
The advantages of spray cork 💪🏻
✅ Elastic and crack-bridging
Spray cork is elastic. This means it can absorb small cracks and hairline cracks in your facade without cracking itself. Especially when renovating older homes, this is a major advantage.
✅ Impact-resistant and strong
A facade has to withstand a lot every day. Think of children playing, bikes leaning against the wall or simply intensive use. Spray cork is surprisingly impact-resistant and can take a knock without getting damaged.
✅ Vapour-permeable and waterproof
An important property of spray cork is that it is vapour-permeable. This means that moisture from the inside can escape, while rain and water from the outside are kept out.
This helps prevent moisture problems and mould formation, which is essential for a healthy indoor climate.
✅ Durable
Spray cork consists partly of cork, which is a natural product, and partly of a binding agent and pigment. This combination creates a natural product that lasts a long time and is therefore also durable.
✅ Adheres to almost any surface
Spray cork can be applied to almost any surface:
- Brick
- Concrete
- Plasterwork
- Other existing facade finishes
This makes it a very versatile solution, both for renovations and smaller applications. It can even be used indoors, on a ceiling or on walls, for example. It is not just a finish for exterior facades.
Can be combined with facade insulation 🫱🏻🫲🏼
Spray cork can be perfectly combined with facade insulation. This way, you not only improve the appearance of your home, but also its energy performance.
For anyone who wants to renovate with the future in mind, this combination is a smart move: your home becomes more energy-efficient and gets a fresh new look at the same time.
Choice of 26 colours 🌈
You can choose from 26 different colours. This allows you to perfectly match the finish to your home and its surroundings.
An added advantage: all colours have the same price. So you choose entirely based on your taste, not your budget.
Easy to maintain 😮💨
Spray cork is easy to maintain. Thanks to its structure, dirt does not stick as quickly and your facade stays beautiful for longer.
It can be cleaned easily with water. If necessary, even a pressure washer can be used without damaging the finish.
Is spray cork just a hype? 🧐
In short: no.
Spray cork is not a temporary trend, but a well-considered facade finish with strong technical properties. It combines aesthetics, durability and practical ease of maintenance.
It is especially interesting for renovations, as it can be used flexibly and adapts well to existing situations.
