This renowned Portuguese company, after refurbishing industrial units in Leca do Balio in 2013, is now advancing with the modernisation and expansion of the administrative and main buildings of its headquarters. Cork takes up a prominent role in various elements of this project. It is to be used on the facade, where large expanded insulation corkboard panels - MDFachada, are to be used as a thermal insulation solution plus an ETICS system, over more than 4,000m2. Cork will also be used inside the building, with the installation of about 5500 m2 of Wicanders flooring (Corkcomfort Linn Blush and Woodcomfort Walnut ranges) both in work and traffic areas. The intervention in these two buildings, connected to each other, is based on the creation of an architectural language that simultaneously reflects concern for the aesthetics of the building and manifestation for contemporary habitability that is adequate to the proposed use. The use of cork in other areas is also planned, as an indoor and street furniture solution.
