Harmony between human and nature
cork
one of nature’s most versatile materials
What is Cork
Cork is the outer bark of the cork oak tree (Quercus Suber L).
It is an impermeable buoyant material, the phellem layer of bark tissue that is harvested for commercial use primary from Quercus Suber , which is native to southwest Europe and northwest Africa.
Cork is composed of suberin, a hydrophobic substance. Because of its impermeable, buoyant, elastic, and fire retardant properties, it is used in a variety of products, the most common of which is wine stoppers. It is a thick spongy hide that is stripped away by workers using knives and axes .
Why Cork
Cork is an eco-friendly material that is well known in many areas for its outstanding performance such as non-decaying, low thermal conductivity, noise insulation, light weight, and shock absorption, etc.
Cork is the most valuable material for making the best quality, high functioning building materials.
It is 100 percent natural, reusable and recyclable. It is such a perfect raw material that no industrial, laboratory or technological process has yet been able to emulate its characteristics.

PG-CORK Granule
the world's first patented material
What is PG-CORK Granule
PG-CORK Granule is a product that is an uniquely surface-treated cork chip using SORKIE’s patented technology to make cork suitable as a building material.
Cork granule processed in this way is most ideal for use as a building material because of enhanced workability and durability. Raw cork granule is not feasible for use on the jobsite as a building material especially for outdoor flooring.
SORKIE’s PG-CORK Granule Development
High quality PG-CORK Granule has overcome the limits of natural cork for use as a building material. It offers a new way of producing various cork building materials while fully retaining the versatile and functional properties of cork.
In addition to its use as a building material, independent artists or DIY enthusiasts can easily create sculptures of artistic value or eco-friendly furnishings and small household items.
