A new patented
lightweight solution.
STORK stands for stone and cork and combines different, but highly appreciated, intrinsic characteristics from both natural materials.
The solution is designed in layers and, depending on the application, it uses the latest composite modelling strategies and production methods to become a nature blend of two highly valuable materials.

of benefits on all levels
Weight
Up to over 50% weight reduction per square meter which leads to significant cost savings on transport and handling, resulting in lower installation times and easy maintenance and repair.
Thermal
30 % increase in thermal efficiency when compared to natural stone. Thermal insulation compatible with major insulation projects using cork.
Acoustics
20 % reduction in noise transmission when compared to a standard natural stone. Improved sound absorption.
Elastic Recovery
Shape-memory solution when compared with standard lightweight stone cladding products.
Impact Strength
3 x higher impact strength and higher energy absorption when compared to conventional stone solutions or other brittle materials.
Durability
Core Adhesion STORK resists to a higher number of ageing cycles due to its composite DNA.
Moisture Proofness
Cork composite layer allows suitable flooring installation, enhancing stone capacity to react to moisture.
Thermal Fatigue
3 x higher impact strength and higher energy absorption when compared to conventional stone solutions or other brittle materials.
Ageing & Dynamic Endurance
STORK is the only natural stone cladding product not showing relevant damage after 10 million load cycles (2 times higher service load).
