Benefits of Cork Plaster

• Helps reduce heat loss and warms cold external walls

• Naturally breathable and moisture-regulating

• Reduces condensation and mould risk

• Provides acoustic (sound) insulation

• Sustainable, renewable and environmentally friendly

• Ideal for customers wanting a healthier, more natural home

Why Choose Cork Plaster Instead of Insulated Plasterboard?

Choosing TIWI Cork Plaster gives you several powerful advantages over traditional insulated plasterboard systems:

1. Reduce Energy Bills Long-Term

Cork provides natural thermal insulation that helps rooms stay warmer for longer.
By reducing heat loss through cold external walls, homeowners can save money on energy bills over time without installing bulky insulated boards.

2. Breathability & Moisture Control

Cork plaster is vapour-open, helping regulate moisture and reduce condensation — ideal for older or solid-wall properties. Insulated boards trap moisture behind them, which can lead to hidden damp issues.

3. Space-Saving Insulation

Cork improves warmth without reducing room size.
Insulated boards typically take 25–50mm of space per wall.

4. Healthier, Natural & Eco-Friendly

Made from renewable cork, this system contains no harmful chemicals and supports a healthier indoor environment.
Plasterboard alternatives are man-made and less sustainable.

5. Better Acoustic Comfort

Cork absorbs sound, reducing echo and noise transfer — something plasterboard does not offer to the same level.

6. No Thermal Bridging

Cork is applied in a seamless layer, meaning no cold spots, no gaps, no thermal bridges.
Board systems can develop cold joints where panels meet.

7. Ideal for Older Homes

Cork supports traditional breathable materials like lime, making it perfect for older buildings.
Boarding over these walls can trap moisture and cause long-term problems.

8. Beautiful Natural Finish

Cork can be left exposed for a warm, textured look, lime-skimmed for breathability, or Multi-Finished (on gypsum backgrounds) for a smooth modern finish.
