These decorative cork boards are also extremely useful – they are great acoustic insulation and thermal insulation. They are also easy to clean– all you need is warm water and detergent (e.g. soap).

Store the wallpaper rolls in a cool, dry place, preferably at room temperature (i.e. not in damp or very warm or cold rooms).

Structure and characteristics of cork and cork wallpapers

During the early 19th century the population of Cork exploded. By the middle of the 19th century, Cork had a population of about 80,000. Some of the increase was due to immigration from the countryside as people fled from poverty. There was a great deal of poverty and overcrowding in Cork during this century.

And as if that wasn't enough, cork oaks also prevent soil erosion, and because they use very little water, they stabilise the groundwater reservoir for the regional water supply. And on top of all that, because cork is fire-resistant, cork oak forests or plantations are much less prone to forest fires. In addition, cork oak production creates jobs. After all, a large proportion of people in the countries mentioned above work in the cork industry, from harvesting to production.
