Cork Tiles......exist here?

Featured Replies

Hi there

Have to make a large notice board and thought of just gluing cork tiles to the wall in an alcove.

I would like a total thickness enough to take a drawing pin......though i guess that could include a layer of soft non-cork underneath.

Any ideas and/or sources for cork tiles or an alternative gratefully received!

Prices?

Great idea!

I've never looked into tiles, but you may want to check B2B around town. They often have some surprising office and art supplies.

I have wondered the same thing but for sound deadening application.

Home Pro has sound deadening foam mixed into their ceiling insulation section. The black foam, diagonal cut, acoustic type that you see on music studio walls.

Yup. Art supplies at either B2B or at Kad Luang - I got some corrugated card yesterday for similar use at only 20 baht/sheet.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

Cork easily absorbs bacteria, and with the humidity in Thailand, I would think that from a breathing aspect it would not be healthy to have in a home here. Just to much moisture to hold the bacteria and possible keep it alive.

I guess it's not that great for bacteria, because wine is stored behind the cork for decades.

In any case, this is a very well aired public area....not the sort of place where mould would develop.

Wow, more than a day since I started my search here and still no real leads.

Here is the lead you are looking for!!

I save this link because i too wish to get cork boards, but i keep forgetting about it. I saved it for when i would get round to doing something about it. You've reminded me! Anyway, i hope the place/s still sell them. Let us know.

Cheers

Thanks v much for trying, but I'm thinking of corking the whole back wall of the alcove from floor to ceiling, and require tiles.

Saw some thin cork tiles at the educational supply store in BoSang - new 3 story building on the east side before 121 - but very expensive.
