- durability, water resistance and durability
- ease of transportation and installation

The surface of the cork coating has a cushioning effect, excluding the appearance of prints and traces of the effect, and the natural component guarantees the absence of a fungal microflora.

But special respect from developers received a roll coating for the walls. Roll cork for walls is supplied by the manufacturer in bobbins up to 10 m long.
Decorative wall coverings, all these Tropics, Hawaii and Fiords, have practical installation dimensions of 600x300 mm with a thickness of 3 mm material with an outer protective coating of wax or varnish.
Cork decorative coatings can also be presented in the form of slabs and a liquid cork, consisting of a mixture of acrylic and crumb. Similar to other cork covers, the liquid plug fits perfectly on the surface of the walls, performing the functions of sound and heat insulation.

The technical plug is used as an auxiliary material, which provides the functions of the substrate and heat and sound insulation simultaneously. Naturally, the difference in price between the decorative and the technical cork makes it clear what additional qualities you will get during installation.
Let's say that there is no relief pattern on the surface of the roll wallpaper, so the installation consists in preparing the wallpaper stripes and gluing them. Adhesive for cork for walls choose a special, designed to work with heavy dense material.
How to paste a coating on a wall
To any cork coating manufacturers attach a label instruction from which you can determine the type of glue used and how to cut the roll. Before the beginning of the cork coating, the base is grounded and primed.
Cloths or panels of the cork cover are pasted onto the previously marked wall. The adhesive solution is applied directly to the wall using a roller and onto a cork coating. Cover gently applied to the working surface of the wall and adjust the location.
Then the tile or cloth is smoothed with a roller. Seams between glued fragments of the coating are also smoothed with a weighted roller. In inconvenient for gluing places (corners) sheets or panels are not strongly pressed, but carefully smoothened, excluding crumbling of the cork coating.
The glue is applied with a notched trowel over the surface of the coating without missing. Surplus glue solution is removed during the process of sticking.
An important detailed information on gluing of coatings is placed in the video.
