We’d love to answer your questions. Due to the high demand for our products, it might take a while to get back to you. Is your question one of the following?
Yes, we certainly do. Please request our Digital Sample Pack.
Yes, many! Feel free to download our press kit for high-resolution images. Or reach out to our sales team. They are happy to help you create the best presentation of our products possible.
You can download the sustainability statement of CornWall via the download centre. An official EPD will be published as soon as the production is scaled up.
Yes, the entire product, including the pigments, is Red List Free.
CornWall is available for delivery in Europe and the United States.
CornWall can be disassembled and reused. If the product is damaged or not reused, it can be returned. The product will go through the shredder, and the raw materials will be 100% reused.
The technical documentation of CornWall can be downloaded from the download centre.
No, the material is not specifically developed for this application.
CornWall has a slight natural variation, similar to the colour differences expected when ordering wood veneer or marble.
The minimum order size for CornWall is 50 m2 in Europe and 500 m2 in the United States.
We currently recommend using CornWall only in dry spaces. Tests are being conducted to determine the material’s suitability for semi-wet spaces such as sink backsplashes, kitchens, and bars. Once we have more information, we will update our website.
No, this isn’t currently adviced.
No, currently, CornWall is only applicable as vertical wall finishing for interiors.
CornWall always has one side coated. Only this side can be used as the visible side.
Yes, CornWall lends itself to custom design, including colour, texture, and size. The maximum size we can currently produce is 60 cm x 60 cm. Custom projects start from 1000 m2.
This depends on the order. Contact us for a current estimate.
CornWall is produced by Circular Matters in Belgium. They collaborate with a sheltered workshop for the manufacturing of the product.
CornWall is packaged in boxes on Euro pallets.
The material price of CornWall is comparable to the price of a high-quality ceramic tile. However, the processing and end-of-life costs are much lower. Request a quote for the exact price.
CornWall can be processed with various universal systems, such as Torx screws or a fast-mount system. Check the installation guidelines in the download centre.
CornWall is thin and lightweight. The tiles are typically 4 mm thick with a size of 60 cm x 60 cm. This offers various advantages, including a significant reduction in emissions during transport. Approximately 150 m2 of CornWall fits on a pallet.

Based on in-house tests, CornWall has an estimated fire class of B-S1-D0. Official tests leading to certification are currently being conducted and are expected to be completed in Q2 2024.
Corn is the most cultivated crop on Earth. Much of the corn is used as a basis for animal feed, with a smaller portion designated for human consumption. In this latter case, the corn is separated from the cob. The cob contains no nutrients and is not edible. Typically, this byproduct goes to biomass combustion facilities. Through combustion, the stored CO₂ is released. In other cases, the material remains in the field. Here, the cob is decomposed by nature, releasing CO₂ as well.
By using this material as a raw material, the CO₂ is stored in CornWall for an extended period. This makes this stream a perfect alternative to scarce raw materials.
CornWall obtains its colour by adding biodegradable pigments. Depending on the colour, a maximum of 0.5% of pigments is added. The pigment is introduced into the mixture before CornWall is pressed. This means that the colour is consistent throughout.
CornWall is primarily composed of the cores of corn cobs left behind after the corn kernels have been removed. Additionally, CornWall includes biomass from, among other sources, bio-ethanol production.
To add colour, a small amount of biodegradable pigments is introduced, and to enhance water repellency, a thin layer of biobased coating is applied.
A material can be made primarily from organic components (“biobased”), but that doesn’t automatically mean the product is also biodegradable. Conversely, a material can be synthetic but still biodegradable.
Biobased materials have a double advantage: they sequester atmospheric CO2 (originally released through the burning of fossil sources) for decades and reduce the amount of fossil carbon pumped up to produce conventional materials.
In general, the term “biobased” indicates that a product contains bio-based components. It is always important to enquire with a supplier about the precise amount of bio-based components, as sometimes blending just 5% biomass is sufficient to label a product as “biobased”. CornWall is made from more than 99% biomass, and upon request (depending on colour), it is available as 100% biobased.
There is a difference between organic and biodegradable. The coating of CornWall is organic. The pigments are not organic but are biodegradable. Cornwall is biodegradable product. This means that in case the Cornwall cannot be reused or recycled (which should always be the aim), it can be naturally broken down, leaving no trace. Don’t throw away the CornWall elements yourself (because your local composting installation won’t know which product this is), but get in touch with us to we can arrange the most sustainable end-of-live scenario.
This depends on the type of product you are looking for. Based on the information communicated in the sample request form, we’ll prepare a brick proposal for you, send samples, get into the specifics of your project and confirm the order, start production, and deliver on-site.
During and after the construction of your project, we’ll connect a few times to see how things are going. Get in touch with questions you might still have, or read more about the process of our custom-made service.
Not at the moment. Currently, we work mainly business-to-business and handle all sales ourselves. This way, we are certain you get all the complete information on time. We only produce our building materials on a project basis. Read more about how our products are made.
After sending your information, we will contact you as soon as possible.
