Lusano Cork Lusano Cork

Expanded Cork Granules

A lightweight, fully natural infill obtained by granulating ICB boards. Used for filling floor voids under screeds, in lightweight concrete/screed mixes and for acoustic correction.

Use Cases

Under-screed void filling with cork granules

Under-Screed Void Filling

Levels irregularities with a lightweight infill; limits structural load increase while improving thermal and acoustic performance.

Recommended: Granules
Lightweight concrete with cork granules

Lightweight Concrete / Screed Mix

Directly add granules into the cement–sand mix to achieve lightweight mixes with thermal and acoustic benefits. Example: 14 cm concrete + 7 cm lightweight concrete with granules + 4 cm screed → Ln,r,w ≈ 62 dB.

Recommended: Granules
