INTRODUCTION TO CORK AS A SUSTAINABLE COATING SOLUTION

A CPD looking at how we can use the truly sustainable raw material cork as an exterior and interior coating for residential and commercial buildings. This innovative sprayed on solution is used to provide an insulating, flexible, weatherproof and breathable coating guaranteed to last for 25 years or more. During the CPD you will learn about why cork is so sustainable, how it provides a natural and permanent solution to black spot mould as well as tackling the issue of insulating hard to treat and high-risk properties.
