That accent 😀
The problem is if u have a dog or a cat. They would love to bite and scratch into the Cork.
Complete crap. What a waste of time and material.
Matt just read my mind.
Aesthetic appeal is a subjective thing, but to me the appearance of that stuff is one (small) step above badly-weathered OSB.
I'd hate to be a neighbor that had to look at that every day.
If the price was decent I'd sure consider it for insulation UNDER a conventional siding, though.
I picked up a bunch of cork for my house too. As soon as I sober up, I'll decide where to use it…
Interesting. How does it stand up to fire and is it tough enough.
PRAYERS FOR THE RISINGER FAMILY AND CORP THERE IN AUSTIN DURING THE CURRENT

BE SAFE FOLKS!!!
PROTECT YOUR FAMILIES AND COWORKERS!!!
WE WANT TO SEE AND HEAR FROM YOU ALL IN THE FUTURE!!!
Probably not a problem where he is at, but that building has a lot of combustible materials. Really interesting product, I would love to see how it holds up long term.
Cork is way too expensive
You can do many things with cork, from purses to cloaths, construction isolation, shoes, etc.. Even NASA uses cork to isolate space ships.
With the fastners being applied on both axis, but only two sides of each panel, how does the unfastened vertical (y axis) overlap seam stand up, or prevent lifting, in high winds?
How about Sound Insulation? It should be great?
Uhhhhh i'm doing that.
But…woodpeckers
I think squirrels would eat my house in a week
This has it’s use case as a noise dampening substrate under flooring for apartment complexes etc
🙌Awesome!!!
Hi Matt, I have a question for you. Before your company turns over one of your custom builds to the homeowner do you personally do a walk-through and make note of everything that needs to be touched up, finished or replaced by your crew?
The reason I ask is I just finished watching this video from Barton Jahn titled “What the Homebuyer Wants” and he said that in 30 years of working as a building manager for residential home builders in Southern California he has never once seen the Owner or President of the company come out to a site and personally do that – it was always left to someone else.

I’m sure you have a team that does a walk-through at the end of a build as a quality check but if I were the owner of a construction company I would be curious to see if the punch list that I came up with after doing a walk-through matched or exceeded the punch list my team came up with. In other words, you’d be quality checking the quality checkers.
how is it for cold and snow?
So what happens when the tornado passes by or the hurrican and kicks up 100mpoh wind and debris,,,,what does that do?
"…still use cork in space shuttles". What year are you living in?🤔
I'm worried the birds will more easily make a home in it.
6:23 doesnt cork dry out and become brittle if not exposed to moisture? I thought that's why wine is kept cork down, otherwise if the cork dries out it essentially disintegrates. I presume then this isnt a good fit for drier climates?
Same cork as cork flooring and ceiling tiles in the mid century
What do you need to do with joints? caulking? Is there expansion and contraction in wet of hot/cold changes.
You could get a couple of 1×4 boards running from the bottom to the top to protect edges in wear and tear areas. These corner boards could be varnished pretty dark for a nice contrast
I'm interested in this because it seems non-toxic, long lasting, and acoustically good. I don't care about climate change theater of lies. I cannot help but wonder if the companies have stupid crap that makes them cost more for some dumb political lie… Being "good" in your purchasing always means expensive with surcharges. I actually don't believe something existing for the sake of existing HAS to be more expensive.
what about the cork shortage
What about pests? Can ants or mice chew through it?
I'm sorry. This is just a dumb for an exterior use. Insects eating it, termites, stains from bird droppings, woodpeckers making holes, tree branches destroying it, high winds ripping it apart, kids destroying it…I can keep going. This might be good for use as a replacement for the foam layer attached to sheathing. I'm sure it has great sound proofing characteristics, but not as an external face.
What about insects? Could they attack cork?
Check out the following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=divQz511Xvc and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90X_698x2q4 . Two cork houses, one fully cork and the other clad with cork
Matt, I did a report for a company that supplied tree bark siding for the outside of houses. Once it was baked, it was not subject to insects. Once installed, it had a unique and very decorative look. It was also insulating and lasted a long time.
Shou Sugi Ban that thing
What is its U value?
Termites are going to love this house! 😀
Is that the spray on stuff? If so Mike Holmes promotes that. He says it gives an R value too.
So that's why we don't get cork in wine bottles anymore. 🤣
That's pretty sweet
Insects, mold, freeze/thaw, extreme heat, fire-resistance, moisture… I have questions…
Wonder if this cork could be used to make an ICF house ?
Cork is a wonderful material, mostly portuguese made, it's not overabundant, 100% natural, good thermal, acoustic and fire resistant properties. I would use it as ETICS material with external finish, not natural (the maker, Amorim Cork, has a special product for natural exterior finish, but those I have seen with some years on we're not to my satisfaction).
Dont even think about it. It's as bad as water storage behind walls. Doh!
Did I once see a spray on cork that could coat a house?
Would love to add this INSIDE my house on a few walls to improve insulation on a few south-facing rooms. Any thoughts on moisture barriers, etc?
And any comments on how it works for sound deadening?
Hey Matt can you do a review on an A frame house?
