Collection: Cork Wall Tiles for Kitchen

Is Cork Good for Kitchen Walls?

Cork tiles are an excellent choice for your kitchen walls! Apart from its warm colours and rustic charm, cork has many great practical advantages.

To start off with a logical concern when it comes to kitchens, cork is naturally resistant to water, so it’s perfectly capable of handling spills and moisture. It’s also antimicrobial, so it resists mould and mildew, which is equally convenient.

The structure of its microscopic cells make it a fantastic thermal and acoustic insulator, which means that it will help to keep your kitchen peaceful and at a comfortable temperature.  

Finally, cork is a sustainable material, so a cork wall kitchen is a perfect choice for an environmentally friendly home.

How to Install Cork Wall Tiles in the Kitchen?

The process consists of only a few steps. However, we recommend that you seek the help of a professional for the installation. That’ll ensure longevity and a perfect finish, which is especially important in areas exposed to moisture and cooking splatters.

Preparation: make sure that the kitchen walls are smooth, dry and clean.

Layout: plan the tile layout so that it’s even and aesthetically pleasing.

Applying the adhesive: apply to the wall a strong adhesive, suitable for cork tiles.

Placing the tiles: carefully position the tiles on the wall, pressing firmly to make sure that they stick to the adhesive.

Sealing (optional): ideally, you should apply a sealant to protect the tiles from moisture and stains.

How Do I Clean Cork Walls in My Kitchen?

Just wipe them down with a damp piece of cloth. Use a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners and excessive water, though, which could damage the cork.

Regular cleaning will help to keep your new wall looking beautiful and in good condition.
