DIATHONITE EVOLUTION Cork-based, eco-compatible plaster for thermal insulation and home energy retrofit

Diathonite Evolution What it is Demonstration tests Technical-physical analysis of components Diasen undertook the first series of tests on cork based plaster as early as 1985. The aim of our research was to obtain a unique product that would have the best thermal, dehumidifying, sound absorbent and long lasting qualities (when exposed to cold/ heat and salt) with easy application. Cork: cork was chosen because of its ability to be a complete material, effective for new construction trends. It is non-toxic, biologically pure, stable, waterproof, breathable, resistant, with good insulating capacity,...

Cork Cork is a natural and eco-friendly resource that fully interprets modern green building. It is highly elastic and has excellent physical, chemical and mechanical properties: it is waterproof, given its compact structure, it has an excellent thermal and acoustic insulating properties, it is resistant to severe weather conditions, fire, insects, and rodents. Cork is extracted from cork-oak trees (Quercus Suber), removing the bark from the trunk and larger branches without damaging the plant, with extraction cycles of approximately 9-12 years. This way, the plant is able to grow new bark, making...

ENERGY SAVING Excellent insulation against cold and heat. Keeps walls warm in winter and cool in summer. MECHANICAL STRENGTH High compression resistance. It can be used both indoor and outdoor, and gives walls strength and resistance. Diathonite leaves walls free to breathe, balances room humidity, prevents mould and condensation from developing, and contributes to healthy living. Diathonite is 3 times lighter than traditional plasters. It does not weigh down the structure, limits CO2 emissions during transport and waste production. Ten times more elastic than traditional plasters; reduces the...

Application fields EXTERNAL WALLS Applying a coating of the insulation system enables you to maximise thermal inertia of the walls, limit thermal dispersion, rectify thermal bridges, and protect the façade from water absorption. INTERNAL WALLS The use of Diathonite Evolution indoor enables to control humidity, obtain mechanical strength, correct room noise, rapidly achieve thermal comfort, and save on the cubic volume of rooms. CEILINGS Diathonite Evolution can be applied to ceilings of any shape and geometry, thus enabling to maintain the architectural characteristics of the structure being...

Application fields SKIRTING Its capacity to eliminate rising damp makes Diathonite Evolution the best solution for applications in correspondence with skirting, even when it is used alongside a panel insulation system. UNDERGROUND WALLS In underground places such as basements, cellars, and garages, using Diathonite Evolution guarantees a perfect hygrometric balance in rooms and it prevents the formation of condensation and mould. THERMAL BRIDGES Thermal bridges are one of the main causes of thermal dispersion in buildings. Diathonite Evolution rectifies thermal bridges simply and effectively.

New buildings: External wall insulation Energy saving and healthy living Thermal insulation is an essential aspect to guarantee energy saving and high living comfort of buildings. In this system the insulation material is applied to the whole outer surface of the building, just like a protective coating on the entire structure. Diathonite Evolution, a cork-based thermal plaster, enables you to easily and naturally create naturally high-performance thermal insulation.

Benefits Thermal insulation "365 days" a year Insulation from heat and from cold are two different things. Diathonite guarantees maximum insulation both in summer and winter. Breathable insulation High breathability enables the walls to breathe, thus making your internal rooms healthy and hygrometrically comfortable. Elastic and tough Unlike dry systems, the mechanical strength and elasticity of Diathonite prevents cracking. For external as well as internal use It can also be applied indoors, solidifying the walls as only plastered walls can. Protection from fire Diathonite Evolution is classified...

Renovation of historic buildings Energy rehabilitation and humidity restoration The renovation of older structures often presents this kind of issues: solid walls without thermal insulation, irregular walls and made of different materials, widespread rising damp. Insulating in such situations requires a proper evaluation of the system that is best suited for the structure's characteristics. Diathonite Evolution meets all renovation requirements thanks to its ability to combine its insulation capacity with its dehumidifying action. DIATHONITE EVOLUTION Old wall: Masonry/brick/stone/earth or adobe...

Benefits Home energy retrofit and humidity restoration Diathonite Evolution couples its thermal insulating function with a dehumidifying action, thus enabling total restoration of the structure. Breathability and hygrometric balance It functions as a hygrometric lung: it regulates humidity and prevents condensation from developing, keeping rooms comfortable in every season. Compatibility with old plasters Diathonite Evolution is perfectly compatible with existing plasters: it can be applied to bricks, stone and mixed wall substrates. Levelling of walls Diathonite enables you to work directly...
