Eco Cork Rendering Project
Eco Cork is a product formulated exclusively with Secil Natural Hydraulic Lime binder and free from all cementitious content. Mixed with a largely cork aggregate, this offers a lightweight, vapour permeable and environmentally friendly render or plaster.
Cork is well known for it's great thermal values and that it comes from a renewable source.
Secil EcoCork is suitable for internal or external plastering. It is applied on top of a specially formulated consolidating mortar, which is hand harled onto the wall to get a key.
After the consolidating mortar one or two coats of EcoCork can be applied in thicknesses
of 10-
Whilst we recommend using the Secil finishing mortar externally as it offers maximum compatibility and protection, internally the EcoCork can be plastered with a wide range of materials including lime putty plasters and clay plasters. It can even be left as the finished surface and just painted.
