Cork room treatments

Has anyone used dimensional cork as room treatment?

Is it effective?  Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of a dedicated listening room. My system is in the family room adjacent to an open kitchen. So bass traps and GIK panels everywhere are not an option.  I do have a few GIK panels that are wife approaved strategically placed.  To improve my room more without making it look like a recording studio we are considering dimensional cork panels. Has anyone tried cork?  Any thoughts?

 Here is a link to the cork panels I am considering.

Interesting product buy I never used it. Just looking at it, the cork material should have a little bit of absorption and the design a little bit of diffusion. However both would be very minimal since it is not thick enough for true absorption and not enough differences in depths to truly act as a diffuser. Try to find some reviews on it outside their website before commiting is my advice.

Great idea. Sure looks like it would be effective, unfortunately I have no experience.

Thanks.  We haven't pulled the trigger yet.  It's a bit expensive for the area we want to do.   Im sure it's not as good as acustic panels and bass traps but given my constraints it's an option that would look good and acusticly be better than a painted wall
