Betoncork insulating panels

Insulating systems with Betoncork

Coupled panels made with high density cement bonded particle boards 1350 Kg/m³ and an insulating cork panels with medium density 160 Kg/m³.
The Betoncork coupled panel is excellent for the dry floor system insulation, walkable roofs and internal walls that require a high mass due to thermal displacement, noise reduction and resistance to humidity and mold. The external panel is in fact composed of high density cement bonded particle board (1350 Kg/m³), with a high compressive strength equal to 9000 kPa and fire certified in class A2. The blond cork panel is highly insulating, completely natural, with high breathability and moisture resistance.

The insulating coupled panel Betoncork is characterized by excellent thermal insulation and breathability values typical of natural cork, which reduce the formation of mold and humidity compared to traditional products; another characteristic of cork is that it also guarantees excellent noise reduction, which makes the Betoncork insulating panel ideal also for the construction of internal partitions. In addition to the excellent properties of natural blond cork Betoncork Betoncork , it offers the strength and high mass of the BetonWood cement bonded particle board, making it an ideal product for thermal and acoustic insulation. The materials used in the production of the coupled insulation panel Betoncork are both completely natural products and in turn made with raw materials and sustainable life cycles.

Insulating panel in cement bonded particle wood and breathable cork. The Betoncork panel consists of two layers coupled in the factory: one layer consists of a BetonWood panel, high density (1350Kg/m³), made of Portland type cement conglomerate and debarked pine wood fiber, the other layer is made up of a panel made of natural blond cork Cork Panels.

The insulating panel Betoncork is the ideal product both for thermo-acoustic insulation with reduced thickness, as in the case of renovations or for the creation of internal partitions, and for those uses with a high humidity component.
In particular, it is suitable for making acoustically insulated dry screeds and as an internal thermal coat. The Betoncork panel allows you to effectively isolate each part of the building:

• can be used as insulation for roofs and floors that require a high mass due to thermal lag and noise reduction;
• also ideal for insulating both flat and sloping roofs, as the cement bonded particle board protects the blond cork from fire (class A2), the entire panel is walkable and resistant to moisture and mold, therefore suitable for laying on horizontal surfaces, even in the presence of cold and damp screeds;
• very high compressive strength (9,000.00 KPa).

If you are interested in this type of solution, we recommend that you take a look at our other coupled products in the section Coupled panels.

All materials are also recyclable and certified. The BetonWood cement bonded particle board is also made exclusively with wood from controlled forests in compliance with the FSC directives (Forest Stewardship Declaration).


The cement bonded particle board has so many advantages, including:

• very high compression resistance;
• high resistance to climate change and frost;
• insects and fungi are unable to attack or damage it;
• thanks to its physical and mechanical characteristics, the product is considered one of the best materials for light weight constructions;
• incombustible (A2 according to the DIN 4102 Standard);
• free of formaldehyde and free of asbestos, asbestos etc .;
• free of recycled inks (present in materials with recycled cellulose);
• resistant to atmospheric agents;
• workable with wooden tools;
• high flow rate;
• recyclable, ecological, respects the environment;
• construction material tested and authorized according to the European standards in force.


The blond Cork Panels are particularly suitable for internal interventions in new buildings and renovations where it needs to eliminate:

• disturbing noises (screeds and ceilings);
• condensation;
• elimination of wetlands;
• molds;
• cold screeds.

They also feature:

• excellent resistance to compression;
• excellent thermal and acoustic insulation;
• high opening to the diffusion of water vapor, which contributes to the construction of breathable buildings with high comfort;
• high capacity to absorb ambient humidity, which constitutes a natural hygrometric regulator system;
• quality assurance, thanks to continuous checks and tests carried out according to the European standards in force.

• the delivery of the material is normally carried out by lorries, considering the high mass of the pallets it is advisable for the recipient to have suitable equipment and mechanical lifting means with a minimum capacity of 35/40 quintals for unloading the goods;
• it is advisable to deposit the boards overlapping them one on top of the other and in order to keep them in a horizontal position, with square section supports and a minimum spacing of 80 cm;
• the transport of the single slabs must be done by cutting, never horizontally;
• avoid direct exposure to sunlight and adequately cover the material to avoid excessive accumulation of dust;
• the pallets are equipped with an upper protective plate, which must be repositioned each time above the other boards and ballasted at the top to avoid distortion of the plates below it.
