Abstract

A cork tile comprises a body (2) of agglomerated cork having a first face (2a) applicable to a wall to be covered and a second face (2b) opposite the first face (2a) and a covering material (3) laid over and anchored to the second face (2b) of the body (2). The covering material (3) comprises a base layer (4) laid over the second face (2b) of the body (2) and having adhesive properties so it can be attached thereto, and a plurality of marble particles (5) of at least one predetermined colour laid over the base layer (4) and distributed thereon with a variable density in order to produce coloured zones in variable shades in such a way that the base layer (4) is visible at the zones with a low density (6b) of marble particles (5),
