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.
