Product Description
Algecork High Density Combined Cork and EVA Sheets
Algecork High Density Cork-EVA Sheets are firm composite sheets made from granulated cork and EVA. They are designed for applications where shape stability, durability and a more supportive feel are needed, including orthotic posting and modification, footwear builds, workshop fabrication and other projects that benefit from a resilient cork-EVA material.
This high-density option is particularly useful when a softer, more compressible cork blend is not enough. It offers a practical balance of workability and strength for clinicians, technicians, footwear makers and informed users looking for a dependable sheet material for build-ups, adjustments and structured components.
Key selling points
- High-density cork and EVA blend for firmer support and better shape retention
- Suitable for posting, modifications and spot modification
- Large sheet format for workshop, orthotic and footwear use
- Useful where durability and resilience matter more than softness
- Versatile material for fabrication, adaptation and general making tasks
- Available in various thicknesses to suit different build requirements
What it does and How it works
This material combines cork granules with EVA to create a firm, workable sheet with a stable feel. In practical terms, that means it can be cut, shaped and incorporated into orthotic, footwear or workshop builds where you need structure as well as some material resilience.
The high-density construction helps the sheet hold its form more effectively under load than softer alternatives. That makes it a useful choice for posting, reinforcement, footwear adjustment and other applications where controlled firmness and durability are important.
Common problems it may help with and Why someone would use it
Algecork High Density is typically chosen when a project needs a firmer cork-EVA sheet for build, support or modification work. In orthotic and footwear settings, that may include adding posts, making adjustments, refining alignment or creating components that need to stay stable during regular use.
It may also be selected for workshop tasks where lighter-weight natural cork alone may not provide enough resilience. For users comparing cork sheet options, this version is generally the better fit when durability, stiffness and structure are higher priorities than softness or cushioning.
Applications and Who it’s suitable for
Orthotic and podiatry workshops: suitable for posting, modifications and spot modifications where a firmer build material is needed.
Footwear manufacture and repair: useful for structured shoe components, adaptation work and material build-ups.
Clinical and technical users: suited to podiatrists, orthotists, technicians and fabrication teams selecting materials for custom work.
General making and workshop use: can also be used for DIY, crafts, flooring projects and educational display work where a durable cork-EVA sheet is preferred.
Who it may not be suitable for
- Not the best option where a softer, more cushioning or more compressible material is required
- Not intended to replace a finished orthotic or insole without appropriate fabrication
- May not suit projects that need a very flexible sheet rather than a firmer, more stable one
- Material selection should be based on the demands of the build, the level of firmness required and the intended end use
