Increased energy efficiency is the vital key to the growth strategy of the construction sector.

There is a large degraded built stock of houses without the minimum conditions of habitability. It is urgent to promote their renovation associated with insulation and to invest in comfortable buildings, but with low energy consumption.

In this context, due to its adaptability, easy application and good performance, interior insulation is highly recommended as a quite competitive and efficient solution.

The GYPCORK board brings together two Portuguese products of excellence: The Gyptec laminated plaster boards and the expanded cork agglomerate (ICB) of Amorim Cork Insulation.
