12 FACTS ABOUT CORK TREES

1. Cork trees thrive in the Mediterranean area such as Portugal, Algeria, Spain, Morocco, France, Italy and Tunisia.

2. Cork trees live on average 200 years, but there are cork trees that are 500 years old. They grow up to 75 feet tall.

3. A cork tree is ready to be harvested after it is 40 years old.

4. Apparently you can find nice cork trees on the grounds at UC Davis and Disneyland. We personally saw beautiful specimen in the Sonoma Plaza and at the Carmel Mission.

5. There are mentions of cork and its uses in many ancient documents and literature surviving from as far back as 400 BC

6. Seventeenth century French monk, Dom Perignon, is credited with being the first to recognize the ability of cork to contain sparkling wines.

7. The bark is ready to be re-harvested after 9 to 12 years. A 200 years old cork tree can be harvested over 16 times.

8. The bark is stripped manually by expert harvesters in the months of May to August.

9. Cork planks are stored outside for a minimum of 6 months to dry up before they start being processed.

10. 1 m3 (35.3 Cubic feet) of cork planks weighs 7-7.5Kg (15.4-16.5 lbs). From 100Kg (220lbs) of raw planks you can obtain 62Kg (136.6lbs) of usable planks.

11. Cork is actually made of water-resistant cells that separate the outer bark from the delicate interior bark. It has a unique set of properties not found in any other naturally existing material. It is lightweight, rot resistant, fire resistant, termite resistant, impermeable to gas and liquid, soft and buoyant.

12. Cork Oak forests contain one of the world’s highest levels of forest biodiversity including endemic plants and endangered species such as the Iberian Lynx, the Iberian Imperial Eagle, and the Barbary Deer. It is also vital source of income for thousands of family farmers, who for generations have worked these forests. These forests absorb millions of tons of CO2 each year and are a vast provider of oxygen to our planet. The forests also provide the greatest defense against the desertification of this region. The cork forests are one of the most sustainable and environmentally harvested forests in the world.

Do you need a STUCCO make over? Or planning for STUCCO on your newly constructed home? Let us help, With our new ECOrk America Stuc-Cork System.

Our system is comprised of a new ECOrk HD exterior finish system and substrate that will provide a stronger exterior cladding. Our system can withstand CAT 5 winds, and at the same time provide a beautiful textured finish. When complete it will seem you have a traditional stucco job , but in fact it will be much better.

Why is ECOrk HD Spray Cork better than stucco?

Because over time, stucco will crack , chip and fail due to expansion and will allow moisture into the wall. You will see cracking on every traditional stucco wall in the market, but not with ECOrk HD.

**ECOrk America HD will not crack from expansion, because is is flexible!!

**It also has has waterproof benefits from the natural elements within the cork itself.

**The finish of the sprayed cork resembles a stucco finish, making it the best performing and finished look on the market.

The cork can be applied as a new install or over existing stucco, restoring all the damage, as well sealing and insulating the wall at the same time.

Because of the quality of the coating , no future restoration will be needed, saving $$ in the long run. Plus you will reap thermal insulation benefits at the same time. Lowering utility costs.

The application can go on any residential, commercial or industrial wall.

The value benefit of this product far exceeds the cost.
