Thermal Cork Coating — Ireland
Thermal Cork Coating
for Irish Walls & Buildings
A natural, breathable thermal cork coating that improves wall comfort, reduces condensation risk and protects façades — applied as a thin spray finish with no major disruption.
A Breathable, Natural Thermal Barrier for Walls
VIPEQ Thermal Corkspray is a spray-applied coating made from natural cork — one of the world's most sustainable insulating materials. Applied to walls internally or externally, it creates a thin thermal barrier that raises surface temperature, reduces cold spots and helps prevent the conditions that cause condensation and mould.
Unlike bulky insulation board systems, thermal cork coating adds minimal thickness — making it ideal for period properties, apartments, rooms with restricted space, and buildings where rigid systems would cause problems with window reveals, skirtings or architectural details.
Natural Properties That Make Cork Ideal for Thermal Coatings
Natural Thermal Resistance
Cork's cellular structure traps air — giving it natural insulating properties that raise wall surface temperatures and reduce cold spots.
Vapour Permeable
Unlike sealed systems, cork allows walls to breathe — critical for older Irish buildings and solid-wall homes where moisture needs to escape.
Flexible & Durable
Natural cork absorbs building movement and minor settlement — meaning the coating won't crack under normal conditions.
Reduces Condensation Risk
By warming the wall surface, thermal cork coating reduces the temperature differential that causes condensation to form on cold walls.
Sustainable & Natural
Cork is harvested by hand from living trees without cutting them down — renewable, biodegradable and low-carbon.
Thin Application
Applied as a spray coating a few millimetres thick — no major build-up, no disruption to reveals, skirtings or room dimensions.
Typical Applications in Ireland
What Our Customers Say
"We had persistent condensation and mould on the north-facing bedroom wall for years. After VIPEQ Thermal Corkspray was applied, the wall stays noticeably warmer and we haven't had a single damp spot since."
Declan Murphy
Homeowner — Wicklow
"I had two rented terraced houses with bad exterior render — cracked, patchy and leaking in a couple of spots. The corkspray sorted the facade, improved the look completely, and the tenants have commented on the warmer walls."
Siobhán Brennan
Landlord — Cork
"Old stone cottage on the west coast — we were losing heat through the gable wall badly. The breathable corkspray was important to us as we didn't want to trap moisture. Very happy with the result."
