CorkShield
High Performance Spray Cork Finish for building exteriors.
Cork is a natural product from the cork bark tree. Every 8 - 10 years, the bark of the tree is trimmed to extract the cork, and does not cause damage to the tree. During the trimming of the bark, the cork tree releases large amounts of oxygen, helping to replenish the air we breathe.
Cork has natural properties that make it an amazing coating product. Cork is naturally breathable and resists mold and mildew growth. It naturally has elastic and fire-retardant properties as well. These are some of the key properties that make cork the vital ingredient in our industry leading Thermal Corkshield.

Properties
Thermal CorkShield™ is derived straight from cork, meaning it possesses many impressive properties that benefit both your home and your wallet.

Resists Salt Penetration
Our product allows for minimal salt penetration protecting your home or building from damage.

Mold & Mildew Resistant
Combines the natural properties of cork preventing mold and mildew growth. Laboratory tests show 0 (zero) mold or mildew growth on our product.

Provides Thermal Insulation
Vipeq’s Thermal CorkShield™ is a natural thermal barrier that greatly reduces heat or cold from penetrating into your home or office. When the cork is applied to the surface of your home, it creates a thermal barrier that keeps the cold outside. One of the properties of cork is that it will never go below 0° C nor above 30° C.
The surface of your home or building will feel cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This creates a thermal break, thereby reducing your energy bills in both summer and winter.

Durable Fade Resistant Finish
Thermal CorkShield™ is extremely resistant to harsh conditions, only fading 1% – 2% annually. One on the natural properties of cork is it will never reach a freezing point even after being submerged in liquid nitrogen.

Crack & Chip Resistant
Our product has elastic properties which means that it can expand and contract depending on the weather. Unlike stucco and paint, our product is flexible and highly resistant to chipping or cracking.

Acoustic Insulation Properties
Thermal CorkShield™ will make your home or building quieter reducing sound. It can reduce echo in any room, home, & business which is why sound recording studios still use cork to help prevent sound reverberation.

Fire Retardent
Cork is a naturally fire retardant material that will not release incandescent particles nor will the flames propagate. It slows or stops the spread of fire or reduces its intensity. This is accomplished by chemical reactions that reduce the flammability of fuels or delay their combustion. Thermal CorkShield™ has an ASTM E84-14 Class B Fire Rating.

HypoAllergenic
Thermal CorkShield™ does not shed its fibers, reducing dust build up. It is an ideal product for anyone who suffers with Allergies or Athsma.

Eco-Friendly
The bark of the cork tree is removed every nine years causing large amounts of oxygen to be released by the tree into the environment. The tree will last for hundreds of years continuing to grow new bark. Thermal Cork-Shield is a greener naturally renewable resource.
Thermal CorkShield™ is a high performing cork spray finish for the exterior of any building.
Our product not only lowers utility bills, but it also adds beautiful texture and colour making your home stand out for years to come!
When the cork is applied to the surface of your home, it creates a thermal break that keeps the outside elements where they belong, outside. Our proprietary formula that was developed over years of research has allowed our product to keep the elements out while also holding its shape and retaining its colour.
Commercial Applications
The heat as well as the cold, enter your business from the outside.
Thermal CorkShield™ helps prevent heat or cold from entering, helping you save energy. The cork is a natural resource that increases your savings while creating a thermal barrier to keep your business warm during the winter and cool during the summer.
Our commercial applications are perfect for any type of structure looking to save money on a utility bill, or in the case of this astonishing Roman Catholic Church, in Holdfast Saskatchewan built-in 1921, have it withstand another century!
“We had Vipeq Thermal Corkshield installed on our commercial building 5 years ago and it has been amazing.”
