This material is part of the free Environmental Performance in Construction (EPiC) Database. The EPiC Database contains embodied environmental flow coefficients for 250+ construction materials using a comprehensive hybrid life cycle inventory approach.

Cork slab is manufactured from cork material obtained from the bark layer of cork oak trees. Cork slab is often made as a by-product of wine stopper production or from recycled cork. It is often made by combining ground granulated cork with a binding agent.

Cork slab is lightweight, rot resistant, fire resistant and termite resistant. It is available in a variety of thicknesses, from 6 mm and used for a range of purposes, including floor and wall tiles, thermal insulation, benchtops and exterior cladding.

Cork slab products are typically available as rolls up to 25 m long, as 600 or 900 mm wide sheets and 300 or 600 mm square tiles.
