History
As the largest producer of cork in the world, Portugal has seen a wide range of projects directed at coming up with new applications for this ecological material.Cork is a natural material derived from the cork oak tree. It has a history of use dating back for thousands of years, and as with so many natural products, it is proving to have a wide range of applications in the modern world
Simply put, cork is the outermost layer of bark of two different species of oak tree that grow in the Mediterranean and Iberian region. It is harvested when the tree reaches 20 years, and then every 9 years after that. The productive life of the tree averages about 150 years.
Cork fabric, also known as cork leather or cork skin, is a natural product. The cork fabric is produced from thin sheets of natural cork obtained directly from the bark of the cork oak tree. These thin cork sheets are laminated to a fabric support backing using a specialized proprietary technique. The grade of the backing varies depending on the use of the cork fabric.
