Applications

Amorim Cork Cavity Wall insulation system provides a natural and sustainable solution for improving the thermal performance of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Made from pure cork harvested from cork oak trees, these panels deliver excellent thermal and acoustic insulation thanks to their unique cellular structure, which traps air and minimizes heat transfer. Cork is naturally resistant to moisture, rot, and pests, giving it long‑lasting durability in cavity‑wall environments. During construction, Amorim cork panels are installed within the cavity between the inner and outer walls, creating a continuous insulation layer that enhances indoor comfort and contributes to energy efficiency. As with any cavity‑wall system, the required panel thickness depends on the building’s altitude, exposure to weather, and local climate conditions. To ensure optimal performance, Kilzi can recommend the appropriate cork panel thickness tailored to your project’s specific requirements.

Sustainability

Amorim Cork is a renewable, environmentally friendly material derived from the cork oak tree (Quercus suber), which is primarily harvested in Mediterranean regions. Its sustainable nature makes it an ideal choice for modern building practices aiming to reduce environmental impact.

Sustainable Harvesting of Cork

A key aspect of cork’s sustainability lies in its harvesting process. Cork is collected from the bark of cork oak trees without harming or cutting down the trees. Skilled harvesters carefully peel the bark every 9 to 12 years, allowing the tree to naturally regenerate its outer layer. This process:
