Lambourde expanded insulation cork is the most recent solution of the Portuguese cork insulation manufacturer Amorim Isolamentos. Lambourde cork panels is a classic expanded cork tile with two longitudinally positioned OSB mounting strips. Such solution allows for a quick fixture of the expanded cork sheets using fast montage pins. At the same time drywall or MDF panels can be fixed to these strips using wood screws.
Lambourde expanded insulation cork sheets are natural, balanced and unbeatable cork products that, with this special type of agglomerated cork, do not contain polyurethane or any other fillers or additives. Due to the high temperature processing treatment it expands (similarly to popcorn) and suberine that is releases during is a natural adhesive that binds the expanding grains. This way we produce a wonderful, natural and sustainable material that offers a perfect vibroisolation, thermal insulation and acoustic isolation.
System Lambourde expanded cork sheets with drywall guarantees as effective problem-solving of any problems related to the acoustic and vibration isolation, as well as thermal insulation that are present not only in the new constructions, but also during renovation works. Great isolation combined with easy and quick installation make this sustainable system a perfect construction solution.
A noisy neighbour?
Expanded cork wall panels can be a great mean for insulation and thermal isolation. Fixed on the wall or ceiling is an acoustic insulation and eliminates all the sounds coming from the other side. If the wall is thin and the noise is of great inconvenience, it is worth to consider a light construction of 30-40mm cork insulation panel, air gap or mineral wool and closing plasterboard or OSB panel. In the majority of cases the placement of the 10mm wall cork insulation panel will be sufficient for reducing the noise.
Looking for a little privacy?
If the issue at hand is more serious than just a loud TV then a expanded decorative cork insulation panel is an answer to the problem. A panel 20 to 25mm thick will be enough to achieve privacy in one’s own home. It is worth not finishing the cork panel after the fixture as its irregular structure will disperse sounds more effectively and eliminate any echoes, increasing our comfort. As the technical cork may not be appealing to everyone, we offer a wide range of decorative cork.
Freezing outside and the walls are ice-cold?
40 million cells full of air in every cubic centimetre gives thermal conductivity of 0.037 W/mK. What does this mean? It means no more high gas bills and much more warmth in the apartment. Just 10-15mm expanded cork insulation panel is enough to make even the coldest walls warm to the touch. But the 20-25mm cork insulation sheets will provide enough insulation and will keep the warm air inside to turn it into a comfortable and cosy living space.
