Cork Render, Port Soderick

Feature Garden Wall, Dalton

Dalton, Isle of Man 2015 Residential

A curved raised bed in a Dalton garden, finished in a white through render K-Rend. Monocouche, so the colour runs all the way through the material and there is no paint film to fade or flake off it.

Laxey Cottage Cork Render

Laxey, Isle of Man 2020 Private Homeowner

A lovely cottage in Laxey, its tired cream render and green-streaked gable recoated in ThermoCork — breathable, sustainable, and warm as well as good looking.

Old Market Hall, Douglas

Douglas, Isle of Man 2020 Commercial

A cold spot by the rear door of the Old Market Hall was growing mould. ThermoCork insulated the surface so it stopped being cold enough for moisture to condense on.

Onchan Cork Render

Onchan, Isle of Man 2020 Private Homeowner

Failed pebbledash on an Onchan property was letting water in. Rather than strip it back, we applied ThermoCork over the top — the water problem cured, and a fresh new look with it.

Shipping Containers

Isle of Man 2021 Commercial

A steel container is the coldest thing in its own box, so moisture lands on it and drips onto the contents. Sprayed ThermoCork takes that away.

Sound Insulation Between Offices

Isle of Man 2022 Commercial

Spray cork used inside a commercial building to give more privacy between offices — 8mm of coating for up to 12 decibels, and warmer rooms into the bargain.
