Amorim Cork Composites launches underlayment Go4Cork One that blends cork with PET foam from recycled wind turbine blades. Underlayment One is the latest product from Amorim that has found a second life from a material that typically ends up in a landfill, continuing Amorim’s commitment to a circular economy.
Cork’s natural properties, blended with the recycled PET foam’s lightness and mechanical properties, and fused between a vapor barrier and PET fabric create a unique, new circular underlayment.
Go4Cork One is made with over 80% recycled and natural materials. This product employs PET foil, foam and textiles sourced from the wind energy industry. Leveraging post-production leftover foam PET, this innovation integrates cork strategically to maintain material thickness. Moreover, by using innovative materials from other sectors, it indirectly contributes to the growth of sustainable industries and local economies.
Regarding product attributes, Go4Cork One is a two-in-one solution with an integrated vapor barrier. It’s durable against loads, compensates for minor surface defects or unevenness and was designed to improve the acoustic performance on laminate floors. Underlayment ONE has undergone rigorous testing in accordance with Multilayer Modular Flooring Association (MMFA) and European Producers of Laminate Flooring (EPLF) requirements for Group 1 certification, ensuring its quality and reliability.
