Practical applications – not just a flooring underlay
The 2 mm cork roll is a popular choice as a flooring underlay under laminate and vinyl panels. It helps smooth out small surface irregularities, provides an extra layer of thermal and acoustic insulation, and doesn’t significantly raise the floor level. This makes it ideal wherever aesthetics, walking comfort, and good acoustics matter – such as living rooms, bedrooms, or children’s rooms.
Offices, studios, and beyond…
But that's just the beginning. Thin cork can also be successfully used as wall insulation, especially in office spaces, home studios, and remote work rooms. When applied directly to the wall, it acts as a natural acoustic panel – reducing echo, absorbing noise, and improving overall comfort within the space.
Interior finishes, furniture, and doors
Thanks to its flexibility and low thickness, the 2 mm cork roll is also great for finishing interiors, covering cabinet fronts, filling doors, and even for decorative uses in japandi or eco-style arrangements. It's a material that blends functionality with aesthetics. See other options in the cork rolls category if you’re looking for solutions tailored to larger surfaces or need cork in a different thickness.
Perfect for DIY projects
For DIY lovers and creative minds, the thin 2 mm cork roll offers endless possibilities. The simplest use? Cork pin boards – you can cut the roll to fit any frame and create handy memo boards that add charm to a kitchen, child’s room, or home office.
Handy in the kitchen and dining room
Another great idea is to use it for hot pot stands – cork is heat-resistant, won’t scratch surfaces, and has a neutral, natural look that fits a variety of interior styles. With the right shape and finishing, you can even turn it into decorative mats, coasters for plant pots, or small organizers for your desk.
For home studios and soundproofing
DIY acoustic panels are also gaining popularity – simply glue a thin layer of cork onto an HDF or MDF board. These panels not only look great but also genuinely improve room acoustics. While they won’t absorb all noise, the difference is noticeable. Want to make it even more stylish? Choose from our decorative cork wall panels.
An eco-friendly alternative – natural origin and renewability of cork
Cork is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees, primarily found in Portugal and Spain. What’s important – the tree itself is not cut down. The bark is stripped every 9 years, making the entire process renewable and environmentally safe. The 2 mm cork roll is therefore a natural, biodegradable, and fully eco-friendly product.
Even better, cork production generates very little waste. Every piece of raw material is used – from thicker chunks for bottle stoppers to fine granules in agglomerated cork products. The 2 mm cork roll is typically made from natural fibers bonded with plant-based adhesive, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious users.
Allergy-friendly material
It’s also a great option for people with allergies – cork doesn’t trap dust, doesn’t support mold growth, and has antistatic properties. So, if you’re looking for a healthy and durable material, a natural cork roll will meet your expectations. What’s more, Corksystem products are protected by a special TAA antibacterial technology, ensuring safe everyday use.
Different cork roll thicknesses – why choose 2 mm?
Choosing the right cork thickness depends primarily on the function it’s meant to serve. The 2 mm cork roll is perfect where a thin, flexible layer is needed – easy to cut, lightweight, and suitable for both floors and walls. Despite its subtle thickness, it still retains thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
Compared to thicker versions – such as 3 mm or 5 mm – the 2 mm roll is best when you don’t want to raise the floor level too much, yet still need a smooth finish and light sound absorption. It’s also more budget-friendly and efficient, which makes it a smart choice for larger projects. For decorative, finishing, or DIY use – the 2 mm cork roll is a universal and optimal solution.
