Why specifiers are choosing cork composites for exposed seating, decking accents and signage.

Outdoor materials face UV, rain, freeze-thaw and biological attack. Cork composites resist all four without chemical treatment. The closed-cell structure prevents water uptake, and the suberin content makes the material naturally resistant to mould and decay.

For exposed seating and signage, a cork-composite face bonded to a structural backer delivers a tactile, warm surface that ages gracefully rather than fading.
