NESITE INTRODUCES THE NEW CORK RAISED FLOOR
Cork is a solution available in several sizes and with a thickness of 4 or 5 mm that , thanks to the honeycomb structure , is able to absorb sound waves ( more than 50 % than laminate ) and improve the acoustic comfort of environments , also ensuring considerable insulation properties , with consequent energy savings . Comfortable to walk on , cork does not attract dust ( it is antistatic ) and is waterproof , with excellent response to chemical agents .
Its shades and textures , as well as its fascinating raw appearance , finally take on a contemporary look in the ten " design " finishes proposed by the company , which add to the " natural " proposals also the grey palette , between warm and cold shades .
Nesite Interior , a brand that represents the evolution of Nesite in the contract world , finally proposes cork also as a wall covering , with the possibility to customize the finish .

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
ACOUSTIC IMPROVEMENT - thanks to its honeycomb structure ( 40 million capsules of air / cm3 ), cork absorbs vibrations and sound waves . Tests confirm that the use of cork reduces the noises up to 53 % compared to laminates .
THERMAL INSULATION - the heat conduction coefficient of this material is 0.037-0.040 W / ( mK ). Cork maintains insulating properties at a wide range of temperatures with consequent energy saving .
ANTI-STATIC - the cork surface doesn ’ t accumulate electrical charges , therefore the phenomenon of attraction and accumulation of dust is not there . Cork surfaces are easy to maintain and clean .
From acoustic to thermal comfort , Nesite ' s new floor is a 100 % sustainable solution and available in a wide range of finishes , including customizable , natural and more contemporary .
For its extraction it is not necessary knocking down any tree , its environmental impact is zero and it has excellent mechanical and physical characteristics : cork is historically linked to the world of design , thanks to its " green " orientation .
Nowadays it is reinterpreted for interior finishes by Nesite , an Italian company specialized in the production of raised floors , which after years of research and development presents Cork , a collection of cork surfaces in twenty different finishes available in the catalogue , also customizable .
FOOTFALL COMFORT - studies certify that after 45 minutes of walking on different surfaces , cork offers greater comfort , reducing the feeling of fatigue compared to linoleum , laminate and ceramic
WATER-REPELLENT AND NON-ABSORBENT - this feature is caused by the presence of suberin which represents the 39-45 % of the cork mass . This substance increases the water-repellent properties , strengthens it and acts as a thermal insulator .
GREEN – 100 % RECYCLABLE - the wasted material is used to produce agglomerates for construction , clothing and much more .
GREEN CO2 ABSORBTION - cork is able to absorb CO2 , the main cause of the greenhouse gas , up to 5 times its weight .
