Though it’s technically a bark and not a wood (the clue is in the name), it tends to be labeled a softwood. So you’ll still find it in the hardscape/wood section.
Naturally, as the outside coating of a tree, it’s designed to be water-resistant and hardy. But thanks to some unique structural properties, it can do far more than simply resist the elements.
- Water-resistant – A hydrophobic membrane of a substance called “Subarin” is thought to be the source of cork bark’s incredible impermeability.
- Rot and mold resistant – Being impermeable to liquid has a handy side-effect of basically preventing rotting. You can’t break down what you can’t get into!
- Elastic – The low-density structure holds air pockets that can compress and bounce back.
