Inspired by ancient Japanese floor mats, Tatami is the 3D cork wall tile from Granorte.
Available in Midnight, Natural and Light, Tatami is a 3D wall tile made from 90% recycled natural cork. Created by family-owned Portuguese cork innovator, Granorte, the wall tile brings a unique texture that’s close to nature. Ideal for creating a cosy and comfortable feeling that has a connection to a Japanese aesthetic, the wall tile is suitable for commercial environments such as hotels and offices.
The cork used for Tatami is sourced from the post-industrial waste of wine stopper production. Originally harvested from the bark of cork trees within protected forests, the material is natural and renewable. Ground up and turned into Tatami tiles, it’s a material with unique properties. Thermally efficient with good acoustics, as well as resilient, cork is an excellent choice for interiors looking towards sustainability as a key criterion.
Paulo Rocha, Granorte, says: “Cork is an incredibly versatile natural material with many applications. With Tatami, we’ve created another way to use the material in commercial projects. Its strong Japanese signature is timely and brings restful calm, while cork’s natural appeal adds a timeless look to walls.”
Each Tatami tile is finished with CORKGUARD®, Granorte’s water-based finish that adds a protective layer for easy cleaning, and which features Microban® to inhibit the growth of bacteria. With no formaldehyde, PVC, softeners or heavy metals; Tatami is GreenGuard GOLD and AgBB certified.
The 4mm thick lightweight tiles are directly glued to walls and are supplied in a 600mm x 300mm format.
