What are Cork Wall Tiles used for?
Cork wall tiles and panels are used to cover the walls of all kinds of interior spaces. They serve both aesthetic and functional purposes.
Some of the most common applications are music rooms and home offices, as they help to make the room soundproof, or as pinboards in workspaces or kitchens.
They are popular with designers and homeowners, since they can add some warmth and colour to any area.
What are the benefits of Cork Walls?
First off, cork is resilient, resisting scratches and wear. It’ll keep looking good as time passes.
It is also conveniently resistant to water. This means that it can be used in areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms, which may be exposed to moisture.
And as mentioned above, cork reduces noise, so it contributes to a quieter, more serene environment.
All in all, a pretty great set of “skills” that makes it an unbeatable material for covering walls!
What different types of Cork Walls are there?
They come in a variety of colours, sizes, and geometrical shapes.
White cork wall tiles, for example, can do a lot to brighten up a room, while dark cork wall tiles can add depth and an air of sophistication. If you want to go for something more unique, check out decorative cork wall tiles, which include geometric patterns.
Types of installation vary, but self-adhesive tiles provide an easy DIY option and are a popular choice.
How to install Cork Wall Tiles?
● Prepare the Surface: Make sure that the wall is dry, smooth and clean.
● Measure and Plan: Lay out the tiles according to the design plan before installing, to preview and prepare everything.
● Apply Adhesive: For non-self-adhesive tiles, apply adhesive to the wall or the tile.
● Place Tiles: Carefully position the tiles on the wall, pressing firmly.
● Seal (Optional): Apply sealant to improve durability and resistance to moisture.
While many homeowners successfully do the installation themselves, especially when using self-adhesive options, consider asking for professional assistance, particularly for complex patterns or larger areas.
Most frequently asked questions about cork walls
Can you paint cork wall tiles?
Absolutely! Just make sure that they’re clean and dry, then use a primer followed by latex or acrylic paint, for the best finish.
Can you have cork tiles in the shower wall?
You can, but they should be properly treated with a waterproof sealant.
How thick are cork wall tiles?
That will vary, as different models cater to different needs and applications. At Portuguese Treasures, you can find panels ranging from 3mm (as in our range of glue-down cork walls) to 24mm (as in our collection of cork wall design blocks).
