If you haven’t yet heard of spray cork and its amazing properties, then read on! Decoproyec is
proud to be at the forefront of manufacturing and distributing this wonder material that can be
used both inside and outside your home or building. If you’re tired of repainting your property
and ready to save on your energy bills, then spray cork should be your next investment. Here
are ten ways that our product, Spray Cork, is better than any paint on the market!
Better Than Any Paint on the Market
- Easily Covers Any Surface At Decoproyec, our goal is to provide innovative and
environmentally friendly coating systems for industrial, commercial, and residential
use. Our products need to be durable and flexible enough to cover any surface. Unlike
paint, our Spray Cork adheres to any surface you can think of: wood, siding,
aluminum, vinyl, steel, stucco—the list goes on! New constructions, as well as older
homes and buildings in need of a facelift, can benefit from applied cork. - Flexibility: No Cracking or Flaking Cork, along with its other qualities, is naturally flexible and durable because of its cellular structure. Under a microscope, cork has a honeycomb-like structure that traps air in its pockets—cork is 80-90% air. This structure and the air trapped inside allow the cork to be flexible and elastic without expanding and contracting with the elements. Where paint will crack and flake when exposed to the elements, spray cork will bend and move with the structure, maintaining its integrity and not cracking under pressure.
- Non-Toxic and VOC Free Although lead paint is a thing of the past in Ireland, other toxic chemicals are still used to coat the buildings you interact with every day. Not with spray cork! Decoproyec Spray Cork is a water-based solution that can be applied to the outside or inside of a structure without face coverings. This all-natural polymer contains no harmful organic compounds, making it safe for your office, factory, and playroom.
- Low Maintenance and Durable One aspect that may deter you from investing in spray cork is the cost per square meter. However, we at Decoproyec encourage you to compare the long-term costs of using spray cork to paint: over time, spray cork is the less expensive product. The color of spray cork fades ten times slower than paint, and because it’s resistant to cracking and flaking, you may not need to reapply it for years.
- Tough on Mold Resistance to mold and mildew is another naturally occurring feature of cork that will protect your home or building. Along with keeping out harmful allergens, this feature also helps keep the maintenance of your cork-covered spaces to a minimum.
- Water Resistant Though we’ve discussed the flexibility of cork because it’s made of 80-90% air, that doesn’t mean it lets anything in! Spray Cork is excellent for sealing your home from water damage while also being a breathable product. The impermeability to water is also natural to cork, which means when you’re spraying your basement, ceiling, or outdoor structure, you’re using a non-toxic method while keeping the water out.
- Impressive Insulation The greatest advantage of spray cork is its natural ability to insulate. With Decoproyec Spray Cork, you can forget about tearing up old structures to add insulation—just spray and maintain climate control while keeping unwanted temperatures out! Whether it’s your living room or your office, you’ll save money on energy bills while being able to heat and cool your space to the desired temperature.
- Sound Dampening Wonder The honeycomb structure of cork works wonders for sound dampening. By coating one side of a wall, spray cork can reduce noise by up to 18 decibels. Cork has been used for years in soundproofing recording studios, and now with spray cork, you can reduce noise in your industrial building or among chatty coworkers.
- Flame Retardant Last but certainly not least, cork’s natural fire retardant properties are perfect for residential, commercial, and industrial uses—definitely not something paint can boast!
- Clean and Green Finally, one of the best reasons to incorporate Decoproyec Spray Cork into your design is that cork is a renewable resource. Instead of cutting down trees to harvest the material, cork trees are stripped of their bark and then left to regenerate, supporting the local ecosystem. During this regrowth period, cork trees absorb three to five times more carbon dioxide than other trees, and cork forests are among the biggest reducers of greenhouse gases contributing to climate change.
Making the Switch to Cork
Spray cork is a relatively new product and admittedly has a higher cost per square meter than
paint. However, besides accentuating the interior and exterior of the property with various
color choices, spray cork is low maintenance, will help you save on energy bills, and is a
renewable resource. Contact us today and see how you can start working with this fantastic
