Does cork add R-value to my home?
Thermal CorkShield™ works along with an already existing or properly engineered wall as a “Functioning Finish”.
Often the R-value is compromised by thermal bridging; drafts, convection, conduction, or reflection of energy (heat), resulting in a lower effective R-value anywhere from 20%-60%.
Rated with a low K-value of 0.058W/mK, a thin layer on the exterior of a building is all it takes to lead to better energy efficiency, reduced heating and cooling costs, and improved comfort inside the building.
Adding just 3mm of Vipeq Thermal CorkShield™ fills in gaps and cracks and effectively increases the thermal resistance of the overall wall system.
