Amorim Cork Insulation is one of the partners of the project FloatWing, developed in partnership with ITeCons, Constálica and Friday, that has created of a model floating house, now launched on the market as an innovative tourism concept. The first model developed is currently located in the Alqueva dam, and may be rented for a city-break. The house may be moved to different holiday destinations.
Having been conceived from a perspective of energy and environmental sustainability, autonomy and mobility, the house may be used as a primary residence or as a secondary residence, for longer or shorter stays, or via a rental scheme, as a bungalow or hotel suite.
The floating house has floor heating that allows heating of the interiors during the winter and also has cold water circulation in the ceiling for cooling during the warmer seasons. The mobile structure offers every modern comfort and is 100% environmentally friendly, including a water treatment system, photovoltaic panels for energy production and solar panels for water heating. The insulation of the house was achieved with expanded cork agglomerate from Amorim Cork Insulation, applied on the floor, ceiling and between partitions, thus also contributing to the environmental nature envisioned for this new space.
