How is reverberation heard through cork?

Reverberation is a word that is increasingly present in the architecture and interior design sector. Do you know if it affects classrooms and conference rooms? How is reverberation heard through cork?

We know acoustic reverberation as the acoustic phenomenon of reflection that occurs in a room. This situation is a reality when a wave front hits walls, ceiling and floor directly. It is being solved with the appearance of materials, such as cork, with which to control this reverberation.

Cork helps absorb and dissipate sounds. It is an ideal material to reduce the interruptions of sounds colliding with each other. Thus, to be able to improve the acoustics in small or large rooms. Thanks to cork, a natural material, you will be able to reduce the disposition of the sound. You can control the reverberation thus making a quieter environment.

Remember that reverberation is a sound phenomenon produced by reflection. It consists of a slight permanence of the sound once the original source has stopped emitting it. Did you know that the parameter that allows its degree to be quantified is called Reverberation Time (RT)?

(RT) is the time required for the sound in a room to decay over a specific dynamic range, usually taken to be 60 dB, when a source is suddenly interrupted. The Sabine formula relates the RT to the properties of the room.

This is the reason why we want to highlight THERMICORK as an acoustic insulator. Do you want the best natural solution for reflected sounds?

How was the cork house built?

Cork has been used in construction since ancient times. Its capacity for insulation and lightness, as well as its resistance to bad weather, make this material a perfect piece of architecture. The appearance of cork agglomerates makes it possible to have a wide range of materials with specific and defined dimensions for their use. How was the cork house built?

The form of presentation of the cork agglomerates and their fundamental and intrinsic technological characteristics to the raw material, have an origin and explanation in their cellular construction. In other words, this is original and unrepeatable. Above all, cork is a plant tissue formed by cells in the shape of a regular polyhedron with 14 faces grouped in such a way that they do not leave any intercellular space. For instance, these dead cells are found in number of 30 to 40 million per cm3. This completely impermeable fabric would prevent the necessary communication between the living cells of the bast and the atmosphere. To avoid this, the testicular canals are reddish in color due to the oxidation of tannins.

The intercellular membrane has an extraordinary originality and complexity. Each wall that separates two adjacent cells is made up of five intimately joined lamellae of unequal thickness. As a wall, it is common to two cells, so each membrane is actually double.

Thus, it is made up of two outer lamellae of a cellulosic nature. Two thicker lamellae formed in turn by 100 to 150 alternate layers of suberin and wax, as well as a double central lamella that is lignified. The cells are interconnected by tiny channels called plasmodesmata. The different nature of the cellulosic fibers of suberin, wax and lignin, are perfectly arranged to act as a membrane of great tenacity and resistance. All this thanks to cellulose. In addition, it is absolutely waterproof thanks to the wax. Similarly, it has great chemical resistance due to suberin and adequate resistance in the axial direction thanks to lignin.

This description explains the unique characteristics of cork and its technological peculiarities which make it useful if not indispensable in so many applications. In addition, it should be noted that nature has forged a structure that is absolutely irreproducible by artificial means. How could a foamed material with cells formed by lamellae of different nature properly ordered be achieved?

Is cork the best ally against fires?

Cork is the name given to the bark of the cork oak. A tree that is essentially found in the western Mediterranean where it forms populations called dehesas. Among the many unique characteristics that distinguish it from other trees of its kind, you should know that its ability to naturally regenerate after each extraction of its bark stands out. Is cork the best ally against fires? How does the firewall cork work?

Cork is obtained naturally. The cork oak is in itself a protection against fire. Furthermore, cork has unique properties with a minimal carbon footprint. It is flame resistant without any type of additive or retardant.

It should be noted that it can withstand almost 50 minutes of direct exposure. Likewise, it does not release toxic gases. Cork oak forests reduce the risk of forest fires and are also a great help against desertification. It offers one of the most valuable ecosystems in terms of biodiversity in Europe. This is simply natural cork, so once expanded it becomes a formidable natural fire protection. Not only does it not burn but it also does not emit toxic fumes.
