Suberite - The cork-based paint

Cork with all its amazing natural qualities works great inside the home as flooring, wall & ceiling coverings, even furniture but have you ever thought of it on the outside of your home? If not, you should. In fact, think of it for any surface in your home - inside and outside walls, ceilings, roofs, deck, patios, etc. If you think about it cork has all the natural properties of that perfect outer layer. Its the bark, or skin, of the tree protecting the valuable inside while allowing it to breath. It protects, insulates and seals and is very resistant. Cork is fire resistant, does not release any toxic gases. It insulates against temperature - both hot and cold. It seals better than any other man-made or natural product - hence the champagne bottles sealed in the 1780s that were discovered under the sea recently - the champagne was still bubbly and tasty and the bottle was sealed with a natural cork. It is these characteristics that make cork the ideal material for builders.

I'd like to introduce you to Suberite. If you've never heard of it, you soon will. Its basically a skin for your home. Its paint that is cork and water resin based - 80% of it being cork. It is applied to the outside or inside of homes and buildings creating a breathable, waterproof and thermic layer. It is resistant to seat salt, fungi and UV rays. Regardless of the outside temperature, Suberite maintains a constant inside temperature. Put it on paths, walk ways and patios - it is antislip!

In the above image, the walls and the pathway are both Suberite.

The pathway to this office building is Suberite.
