2. Cork cloth has a unique texture that gives a unique
feel to the touch and the eye.
Derived directly from the cork oak tree’s bark, with
physical and chemical qualities that an artificial
technique has never duplicated.
The bark of the cork oak tree can regrow. This allows
the tree’s bark (cork) to be removed without inflicting
any damage to the tree.
Its chemical and physical structure enables it to
withstand extreme wear.
It is resistant to the multiplication of microorganisms
such as mites due to exceptionally low surface dust
absorption.
The finished product is completely dust, dirt, and
grease repellent, as well as stain-resistant, thanks to a
careful coating of the natural surface.
