FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ’s

What surfaces does Thermal CorkShield™ adhere to?

It adheres to most surfaces, including brick, stucco, wood, composite, metal, glass, and more. Vinyl siding is the only common exception.

What other applications can it be used for?

Beyond buildings, Thermal CorkShield™ has been used on RV roofs, trailers, ice fishing shacks, outdoor furniture, industrial equipment, tanks, and more.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. Applications completed according to Vipeq TDS by a Certified Installer include a 15-year Limited Product Warranty.

Is the product toxic? Can pets and people stay home during application?

No. Thermal CorkShield™ is water-based, non-VOC, and non-toxic, even when airborne, making it safe for occupants and pets.

Do pests or woodpeckers damage it?

No. Cork is naturally pest and rodent resistant. Woodpeckers cannot chip, crack, or make mating noise on the surface and will move on.

What about hail or impact damage?

Thermal CorkShield™ remains flexible in all temperatures, deflecting impact and reducing noise instead of cracking or chipping.

Can it be repaired if damaged?

Yes. Colour consistency and low fade make repairs seamless. Spray application ensures smooth blending with the existing surface.

What is the cost to have it applied to my building?

Pricing depends on surface type, size, condition, and prep. It’s more than basic painting, but less than full wall replacement. Contact us for a free quote.

How is Thermal CorkShield™ applied?

It is spray-applied using professional texture equipment by a Vipeq Certified Installer to ensure consistent coverage and long-term performance.

What colours are available?

We offer 30+ standard colours, with an average fade rate of only 1–2% per year.

Will my building need structural reinforcement?

No. Approximately 88% of the product’s volume is air, making it lightweight with very low structural load.

Does cork add R-value to my home?

Thermal CorkShield™ functions as a thermal envelope, sealing cracks and gaps that reduce wall performance. With a K-value of 0.058 W/mK, it slows energy transfer and supports the existing insulation system.

Is Thermal CorkShield™ environmentally friendly?

Yes. It is made from renewable cork and a proprietary water-based resin. Cork bark is harvested every 8–10 years without harming the tree, which can live over 250 years. Proper application can result in 10–50% energy savings, depending on the structure.A
