Cork Wall

Moderately. In a bathroom, opt for treated cork or an area less exposed to splashes.

Thumbtacks or thin nails work well. The cork self-heals after removal.

A wax or matte varnish protects and facilitates maintenance. Untreated cork can get dirty more easily.

A cork wall brings a warm and natural touch to your space. It offers excellent sound and thermal insulation, as well as a soft and pleasant-to-the-touch surface. Furthermore, cork is a durable and easy-to-maintain material.

The ideal thickness of cork panels depends on the intended use and your insulation needs. For decorative use, thin panels of 3 to 6 mm will generally suffice. For better insulation, opt for panels 6 to 12 mm thick.

You have the choice between several finishes for your cork wall: natural, tinted, varnished, or with a printed pattern. The natural finish will retain the raw and authentic look of cork, while tints or varnishes will bring a more modern and decorative touch.

To maintain your cork wall, a simple cleaning with a soft, dry cloth will suffice. Avoid using abrasive products or detergents that could damage the surface. You can also occasionally apply a protective oil to preserve the beauty of the cork.

To attach items to a cork wall, prefer flat-head screws or wide-head nails. Avoid using standard screws, which could damage the material. You can also opt for cork-specific hanging systems, such as clip-on hooks or wooden rails.
