FAQs
What is the primary use for these cork rolls?
These cork rolls are designed for a variety of uses including home projects, decoration, DIY applications, model-making, and as a natural insulating material for thermal and acoustic purposes.
Are these cork rolls waterproof?
Natural cork is water-resistant to some extent but not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to moisture is not recommended.
How should I cut the cork sheets?
A sharp craft knife or utility knife, used with a ruler or straight edge, is the best method for achieving clean cuts.
Can I paint or decorate the cork?
Yes, the cork surface can be painted with acrylic paints or decorated using various craft techniques.
What adhesive is recommended for installation?
A strong craft adhesive, spray adhesive, or PVA glue is generally recommended, depending on the surface you are applying it to.
How thick are the cork rolls?
Each cork roll is 6mm thick.
What are the dimensions of each roll?
Each roll measures 1000mm x 300mm.
Is the cork sustainably sourced?
Yes, the product is crafted from sustainably sourced cork.
Troubleshooting
Cork is not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use an appropriate strong adhesive and apply sufficient pressure during installation.
Cuts are not clean
Use a very sharp craft knife or utility knife and a straight edge. Make multiple shallow passes rather than one deep cut for cleaner edges.
Material seems too flexible for the project
For projects requiring more rigidity, consider reinforcing the back of the cork sheet with a thin piece of MDF or plywood, or doubling up the cork layers.
Visible texture variations
This is a natural characteristic of cork. If uniformity is critical, consider covering the cork surface with fabric or paint after installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Begin by measuring and cutting the cork rolls to your desired size using a sharp craft knife or scissors. Ensure the surface where the cork will be applied is clean, dry, and smooth. For permanent applications, use a strong adhesive suitable for cork and the intended surface (e.g., spray adhesive, PVA glue, or construction adhesive). Press the cork firmly onto the surface to ensure good adhesion.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with most common building materials, including wood, plasterboard, and painted surfaces. It is suitable for indoor use in dry environments. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or direct sunlight, which can degrade the cork over time.
Care: To clean the cork surface, gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the cork. For minor scuffs, a soft eraser can sometimes be effective. If using as a notice board, pins can be used, but repeated pinning in the same spot may cause wear.
