THE ULTIMATE IN FUNCTIONALITY, RESILIENCE AND FLEXIBILITY.

Recommended by Grand Design’s Kevin McCloud, Thermocork offers an Eco-friendly and high performance alternative to other render and plasters. In recent years more people have been turning away from traditional external renders in favour of industrious new products that provide better coverage, longer protection and better value. Our team at iTube developments are trained, knowledgeable installers of Thermocork, and can bring this revolutionary product to your development projects; the benefits of which, are numerous:

Cork spray provides a flexible and durable insulation solution for a wide range of different buildings and structures. This is due to its extensive variety of possible applications, it’s also useable as a decorative material. In addition, the appearance is spectacular, unlike paint (cork prevents flaking caused by moisture) and cement render (cork prevents cracks) cork also offers thermal and sound insulation, it breathes and is water-repellent. Unlike the afore mentioned renders, cork requires very little to no extensive maintenance. Corks long lifespan will not cost you excessive amounts of money to repair or maintain despite being made entirely from natural ingredients.

iTube Developments are the foremost registered approved installers in South Wales offering incomparable service and installation.

Why use Thermocork rendering?

100% Natural

All ingredients are natural and sustainable.

Vapour permeable

Cork is vapour permeable and allows moisture vapour to pass through and escape the building. A warm wall that retains vapour permeability is far less likely to suffer from condensation.

High durability

Cork is resistant to salts and it's elasticity allows it to stretch with building movement to reduce cracks in the render.

Lower fuel bills

Enhanced thermal performance means a warmer, more comfortable building and reduces energy use and carbon footprint. The application of cork render can reduce energy bills by 30%.

Better thermal performance

Around 7 or 8 x times more insulating than traditional lime/sand renders. 30 times more heat resistant than concrete.

Better acoustic performance

Cork is well known for reducing noise, so application of Thermocork can help provide a more relaxed environment for buildings subject to noise.

Spray cork corrects all thermal shortcomings, such as thermal bridges that cause internal condensation, the stepping stone to the forming of mould/fungi, saltpetre etc. As a result the inside of the building becomes more stable, healthier environment for its inhabitants. Due to the lack of or bad insulation, many buildings are unnecessarily overheated. Renovation with spray cork is the ideal solution to achieve the perfect internal temperature in your building while minimizing heating costs. Potentially making your house between 5c / 8c warmer.

We believe, absolutely beyond doubt, in the versatility of spray cork in construction.

A variety of finishes can be achieved depending on what particle sizes you require on your project, examples are shown below.

Fine particles

For the interior, with silk like effects, for a softer finish.

Standard particles

For walls, façades and roofs.

Coarse granules

For industrial applications.

As trained knowledgeable installers of Thermocork, iTube Developments are able to issue a 10 Year manufacturers guarantee for complete peace of mind. No other product can even come close to this guarantee. Proving the confidence the manufacturers have in the product.

“Cork is a fascinating material with excellent acoustic and thermal insulation properties. It’s anti-fungal, and resists rotting; it ‘breathes’, transpiring moisture; it will compress to form a tight gasket (think wine bottles); and it’s sustainable, in fact Europe’s cork production, in Portugal for example, needs our support.

Now it’s been turned into an insulating, breathable, elastic, sustainable render for buildings. Something that’s been missing from both the conservation and the eco-building markets. Magical.”
