It is a market that does not know the crisis and should grow in France. “If those constructions represent only 4.5% of construction in France, they represent 60% in Germany and 90% in Scandinavian countries. The market targeted by Batiliege is the wood frame construction houses. What we want, for 2017, is to have a thermal solutions for outdoor walls entirely bio-sourced”, explains the contractor.
But cork answers several problems and would be suitable for example in the naval sector. “At the moment, we sell only cork in panels. This simple operation is enough to give all its properties to the cork and make it perfectly adapted to many sectors of activity. The “suberine” contained in the cells will release under the action of heat and play the role of natural glue. ” The cork oak bark is ground and then set at 300 ° C for 20 minutes in an oven. “Unlike other insulating materials, there is nothing chemical in the manufacture of wood panels. “It is also the only natural product that does not fear water,” continues the founder of Batiliege. The cork is also rot-proof and, of course, recyclable and biodegradable. The smell of cork makes it a very good repellent against rodents and mites and the panels play, also, antivibratory, water repellent, thermal and sound insulation roles. “Even the thermal shield of the space shuttle is made of cork composites, because it has a very high thermal resistance and is hardly flammable … ”
When these fridges were destroyed, the cork plates were still intact”, says Mohamed Zeroug. For the anecdote, during the construction of the halls of Paris, they created isolated fridges with cork. “ But a new stage will soon begin when the two men will lean over this light and thick bark of the oak, cork. From this first adventure together, in 2010, ATIANE ENERGY, a thermal office agency, was born and still in operation. In 2009, we decided to restart our studies and we found ourselves in the same master in renewable energies and energy efficiency of the school of Mines of Paris. “I come from the space industry and Frederick from the naval sector. However, nothing predestined the man to found himself, together with his associate Frédérick Fontaine, founded the company Batiliège in December 2014. The properties are such that this engineer sees in this material obvious potential in the construction. But this is not about closing bottles of wine. Quietly installed in Lunel-Viel, Mohamed Zeroug becomes inexhaustible when it comes to praising the merits of his product: cork.
