Mullikorkplaate

Mullikorkplaate, also known as corkboard or tackboard, is a material commonly used for notice boards and bulletin boards. It is manufactured from cork, a renewable and sustainable resource harvested from the bark of the cork oak tree. The cork is processed into thin sheets which are then pressed together to form rigid panels. These panels are typically mounted on a backing material, such as fiberboard or plywood, to provide stability and strength.

The natural cellular structure of cork gives it unique properties that make it suitable for this application. The numerous small air-filled cells create a lightweight yet durable material that is naturally resistant to moisture and decay. When a pin or tack is inserted into mullikorkplaate, the cork cells compress, allowing the fastener to grip securely. Upon removal, the cork cells partially recover, minimizing the appearance of holes and allowing the board to be reused many times.

Mullikorkplaate is valued for its functionality and aesthetic appeal. Its natural, earthy texture can complement various interior designs. It is commonly found in offices, schools, homes, and public spaces for displaying information, artwork, photographs, and other items. The material is also relatively easy to clean and maintain. While traditional corkboard remains popular, variations exist, including framed versions and composite materials that incorporate cork.
