In clonclusion, cork fabric for parquet or floating flooring is a product that is increasingly used for renovations and insulation. Its great success comes from the insulating, thermal, acoustic and ecological characteristics that other asphalt fabrics do not provide.

The cork will prevent the noise of footsteps, heels or movements of chairs from moving to the lower floor. The usual thicknesses for this application range between 2 mm and 4 mm, depending on the characteristics of the home. It is important to bear in mind that the greater the thickness, the greater the acoustic attenuation.
