Richwood

Richwood Cork Wall Tile

A sculpted, sound-taming cork wall tile made in Italy: 12mm of natural cork that quiets a room the moment it goes up.

Richwood is a thick-cut cork wall tile with a classic uneven face. Each 240mm x 800mm (9 29/64 in x 31 1/2 in) panel is 100% natural cork, produced in Italy from the bark of the cork oak, so every tile carries its own shading and texture. The result is a wall with real depth, not a flat printed pattern.

That uneven surface is doing work, not just decorating. The varied relief scatters sound in every direction, cutting reverb, echo, and reflection. Paired with the panel's full 12mm (1/2 in) thickness, it makes Richwood a natural fit for music rooms, home studios, offices, and any space where hard walls make noise linger.

The back of each panel is smooth, which makes glue-down installation on a wall or ceiling straightforward with Wakol D3540 cork adhesive. Cork's natural cell structure also insulates: it helps keep a room warmer in winter and cooler in summer, and it can help reduce heating costs.

Because it is natural cork bonded with formaldehyde-free adhesives, Richwood suits homes where air quality matters. It is hypo-allergenic, resists pests, mould, and mildew, and makes a healthier alternative to wallpaper. It works in both residential and commercial spaces.
