No, the Corkeen system has been conceived by Corkeen according to the expert guidelines acquired by the Amorim Group.

Corkeen is an in situ system. This means that the cork granules are agglomerated with a PU resin, which cures with humidity and is accelerated by temperature. If the surface is humid, due to rain, this will accelerate the curing process and quality problems will arise. Corkeen should not therefore be installed on rainy days, as with any other in situ surface. This risks causing a bad quality installation.

See maintenance conditions documents specified to keep the surface clean here.

Our Brand Masters are trained and should be experts with the surface. In the event that they cannot directly offer the support required, Corkeen has a technical team that can support you and the possibility to perform tests for any development. Find your local Brand Master here.
