The use of cork products among Architects continues to grow. With many attracted to cork for its sustainability benefits and others simply for the unique look.
This article will cover how Architects are getting creative with cork building materials in 2020.
Flooring
One of the most common uses of cork is for flooring. Cork retains an amazing natural look while also having very good insulative properties. Cork also happens to be one of the most environmentally friendly flooring products on the market.

Ceiling
Not only are modern architects using cork below the feet, but also above head. Cork has been used to bring some character to the ceiling.
Cork is also a great option for large spaces as it offers amazing sound insulation.
