Our company
Mykor develops and scales the next generation of building insulation that considers both human and planet health.
We provide an alternative to conventional insulation with low embodied carbon and higher performance. We collaborate with contractors and prefabrication manufacturers to deliver our insulation via a construction system approach.
Where we are
