Eco Friendly
The bark of the cork tree is removed every nine years causing large amounts of oxygen to be released by the tree into the environment. The tree will last for hundreds of years continuing to grow new bark for re-harvest. Thermal CorkShield™ is a green, naturally renewable resource.
Hypoallergenic
Thermal CorkShield™ does not shed its fibers, reducing dust build up. Non-VOC and non-toxic even when airborne, it is an ideal product for anyone who suffers with Allergies or Asthma.
Durable
Thermal CorkShield™ is extremely resistant to harsh conditions, only fading 1% – 2% annually in direct UV. One on the natural properties of cork is it will never reach a freezing point even after being submerged in liquid nitrogen.
Mineral Resistant
Our product allows for minimal salt penetration protecting your home or building from deterioration.
Acoustic Insulation
Thermal CorkShield™ will make your home or building quieter reducing sound reverb and transfer. It can reduce echo in any room, which is why sound recording studios still use cork to help prevent sound reverberation.
Flexible
Our product has elastic properties which means that it can expand and contract depending on the weather. Unlike stucco and paint, our product is flexible and highly resistant to chipping or cracking.It can virtually eliminate the cracking seen in most stucco finishes.
Mold & Mildew Resistant
Thanks to naturally occurring suberin, wax and lignin found in cork, no mildew, mold or moss will grow on Vipeq TCS. Tests show 0% growth on our product even when forced in the lab!
Fire Retardant
Cork is a naturally fire retardant material that will not release incandescent particles nor will the flames propagate. It slows or stops the spread of fire or reduces its intensity. Thermal CorkShield™ has an ASTM E84-14 Class B Fire Rating.
Thermal Insulation
Vipeq’s Thermal CorkShield™ is a natural thermal barrier that greatly reduces heat or cold from penetrating into your home or office. When the cork is applied to the surface of your home, it creates a thermal break that keeps the cold outside. One of the properties of cork is that it will never go below 0° C nor above 30° C.
