SprayCork natural cork coating is an innovative insulation and rendering solution. James Erskine, Sales Manager at CorkSol, discusses the benefits of the product, the installation process, and the support that the company provides to approved applicators.
The UK house market has evolved considerably over recent years. Many are taking on restoring properties, some are searching for solutions to reduce energy usage, whilst others are looking at protecting their new build homes against the ever-changing UK climate. Therefore, many tradespeople are adding more services to their offering in order to cater to customers.
SprayCork is a sustainable, breathable wall coating that can be used on interior and exterior walls as an insulating solution or outside render. Exclusively supplied by CorkSol UK, the company has seen a noticeable rise in applications of the product because of its host of benefits. Highly insulating (reduces heat loss by up to 30%), a protectant against damp and mould, and exceptionally durable against the elements, SprayCork is a solution to many problems faced by property owners.
To date, almost 10 million UK structures are equipped with poor insulation after receiving an EPC score of a C or below. Because of this, these buildings experience higher levels of heat loss, ultimately leading to excessive energy consumption, which is further detrimental during the current cost of living crisis. Moreover, 55% of UK homeowners have also reported issues with substandard indoor air quality due to damp and mould within their homes because of poor ventilation. The innovative CorkSol solution helps minimise these issues with owners seeing results within the months following the completion of a project.
Options aplenty
Despite all these benefits contributing to a more sustainable building and better livelihood for those living there, there are many homeowners who prioritise the look of their home. This natural cork coating is available in 28 fade-resistant colours allowing approved applicators to offer clients trending tones that will give the building a contemporary makeover whilst improving the overall standard of it. In addition to its wide colour range, it is also easily repaired if the new render cracks, causing little to no disruption to the homeowners’ daily life.
These benefits of SprayCork aren’t, however, limited to the product itself but are also favourable for its approved applicators. Becoming part of the independent network enables tradespeople to offer a wider variety of services which also increases their opportunities as the same material can be used in both interior and external projects, often leading to recurring customers once they see the benefits.
The material is applied by adding the product to the spray machine, coating the wall in horizontal motions, layering up until sufficient coverage is achieved. This process can be completed in a time efficient manner, allowing applicators to have increased amounts of downtime to help reach further clients, maximising profit. It also means that training from the experts at CorkSol can be completed within one day. During the onboarding process, new applicators learn about the opportunities cork gives them and clients, whilst also understanding the technique needed to complete projects to an exceptional standard.
As well as being the exclusive supplier of the product, CorkSol has created a network of approved applicators across the UK via QualiCork providing a platform with continued support for applicators even after the training day. Having this platform on hand enables applicators to educate themselves and potential clients who are making eco-conscious decisions and are in need of a solution for their homes.
New leads
To complement the support received from attending the training course, members of the QualiCork Network can receive sales leads through the CorkSol website as well as access to other opportunities to grow their own businesses. Having access to these leads enables a constant, steady stream of potential clients to come to the business for quotations, while reducing marketing or advertising costs.
Becoming a member of the Independent Applicator Network enables tradespeople to expand their repertoire, offering a solution that will combat many issues found in UK homes. They have access to the profit calculator where they can transform their business, minimise labour costs, whilst maximising what they can earn. Despite there being a long list of advantages for applicators, the most important one is arguably the service and product they are able to provide clients with as they are receiving a long-term improvement to their health, energy costs and livelihood.
