Do you have a property with asbestos that is approaching the end of its lifespan?
SprayCork is a certified solution which can safely encapsulate the asbestos.
Asbestos was widely used in construction throughout the mid-20th century on residential and industrial properties to provide a range of benefits, such as insulation and fireproofing. Whilst the use of asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999, there are still many existing buildings where it was incorporated in their construction and any building built before the year 2000 will likely contain some form of asbestos.

How dangerous is asbestos?
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) asbestos materials in good condition are considered safe unless asbestos fibres become airborne, which happens when materials become damaged. When it becomes damaged or reaches the end of its lifespan, these dangerous fibres can be released into the air, which can then be inhaled and potentially cause serious illness. If it is damaged, it will need to be removed by a specialist contractor.

What is encapsulation?
Encapsulation is the process of applying a protective layer to the material, which encloses the asbestos fibres within it. Not only does this help to contain the asbestos, but it also protects it from future damage.
SprayCork has now been certified for asbestos encapsulation, providing protection against dangerous asbestos fibres and preventing it from going to landfill. SprayCork comes with a 15-year product warranty for asbestos encapsulation, before it would need re–spraying to provide continued protection.
Asbestos encapsulation can be used on domestic properties as well as industrial units, but asbestos needs to be in sound condition before it is encapsulated, otherwise it will need to be removed by a specialist.
Fire Resistance
(Euro-class B safety rating), water resistant and breathable (this helps prevent mould and damp, gives people a healthier living and working space).
Suitable for coastal properties
The cork tree evolved in coastal regions around the Mediterranean, giving cork material a totally natural resistant to salty air. So a CorkSol SprayCork coating is the natural partner for seaside walls.
Natural and sustainable
No trees are felled in the production of SprayCork. The cork in our material is harvested, leaving the trees to regrow. As they do so the forest’s CO2 absorption increases. This incredible natural process means that cork content in SprayCork coating of the average UK house is enough to offset over 500Kg of CO2 emissions.
