A:  Thank you for your interest in Eco Cork Foam. ECF has never been formally tested for wall applications, because it was designed for interior use with laminate, wood, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. That being said, ECF does have superior acoustical benefits and does have a moisture barrier pre-attached. For floor applications over a wood subfloor, we always recommend NOT taping the seams for moisture control, as it may create an ideal environment for mold, and mildew. We receive messages every day from happy consumers who share their interesting projects with us and have seen this done before with great success, however, we are unable to recommend.

Be sure to follow the flooring installation instructions as it will outline the appropriate order of installation in terms of order of installation and appropriate underlayments for your requirements. As ECF has a 6 mil vapor barrier, we recommend the runs are not sealed together and the perimeter is not secured to allow for moisture vapor to dissipate more freely. If the runs are sealed together on a wood subfloor, you run the risk of trapping moisture under the underlayment, creating an ideal environment for mold and mildew.

A:  Thank you for your interest in Eco Cork Foam. It can be quite difficult to navigate the road of compatible materials with so many resources for consumers. With hundreds of manufacturers and thousands of brands, it can be difficult to stay abreast of this in a constantly changing market. That being said, The Energy Star website does not post requirements for floor toppings, in terms of underlayment or flooring. We are very familiar with the Energy Star program and the R25-R30 refers to the wall insulation. You can find the requirements in your specific area. Here is a link to the resource --> https://www.energystar.gov/saveathome/seal_insulate/identify_problems_you_want_fix/diy_checks_inspections/insulation_r_values. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact our customer service team at 855-810-8922. Good luck with your project!

A:  Thank you for your interest in Eco Cork Foam. At 1/8” or 3.2 mm thick, ECF is roughly twice as thick as the competition. This density equates to an R value of 0.48, which means that ECF provides serious insulation, not to mention its capacity to reduce drafts. It is not recommended that 2 layers be used together as there is the possibility of trapping moisture between layers, potentially creating the ideal environment for mold and mildew.
