Recognised as a versatile and eco-friendly material, cork is transforming architecture and design. Portugal Cork Co offers a comprehensive and ever-growing range of products, providing solutions for projects of all scales and styles. By collaborating closely with architects and designers, the company brings to life unique projects that champion sustainability while delivering modern, stylish results.
Sustainability lies at the core of Portugal Cork Co’s mission. The Cork Oak Tree remains alive and thriving throughout its lifecycle, as only its bark is harvested. This process not only promotes regrowth but also increases oxygen production. Additionally, the company upholds a Zero Waste strategy, ensuring that every piece of cork is utilised effectively within a circular production model.
From the vintage appeal of a traditional cork floor to the cutting-edge applications in contemporary design, Portugal Cork Co demonstrates the limitless potential of cork.
The team invites others to explore how cork can inspire and enhance their next project, contributing to a sustainable and innovative future.

Lime plaster works by letting moisture move through it. A wall finished in lime breathes – water vapour passes in and out, meaning damp doesn’t get stuck causing mould. The paint that goes on top has to do the same job, or it will undo the benefits of breathable wall finishes.
