2. Cork thermal insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_thermal_insulation

   Fino et al. [11] investigated the thermal insulation of walls covered with medium density expanded cork panes. To determine the impact of moisture on heat transfer through the cork wall, they conducted a comparative simulation of the insulation's behaviour in winter and summer conditions on the one side, and in dry and wet conditions on the other.

3. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   The pure cork is made by processes of heating and steaming whereby cork granulates are molded into a block. The natural resin of the cork acts as a bonding agent. An artificial bonding agent is required for the production of agglomeration cork. Cork is typically used for acoustic and thermal insulation within walls, floors, ceilings and facades.

4. Cork (material) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_(material)

   Cork is also an essential element in the production of badminton shuttlecocks. [19] Cork's bubble-form structure and natural fire retardant make it suitable for acoustic and thermal insulation in house walls, floors, ceilings, and facades. The by-product of more lucrative stopper production, corkboard, is gaining popularity as a non-allergenic ...

   Biodegradable cork granules replace rubber in artificial turf infill, which also helps keep surface temperatures down and avoids the release of microplastics; Insulation panels that absorb ...

6. Homasote - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homasote

   Homasote was widely used as wall sheeting from the 1940s into the 1970s. Due to the development of more fire-resistant gypsum board, it has decreased in popularity as a wall sheeting. Homasote is found in studio spaces and featured in many art institutions as a wall covering and doubling as a type of cork board.

7. Alternative natural materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_natural_materials

   Cork is suitable as thermal insulation, as it is characterized by lightness, elasticity, impermeability, and fire resistance. In construction, cork can be applied in various construction elements like floors, walls, roofs, and lofts to reduce the need for heating or cooling and to enhance energy efficiency.
