Eco-Friendly
Diathonite is composed of plaster, fibre-reinforced with cork, clay powders and NHL 3.5 natural hydraulic lime. With less than 2% inorganic material, Diathonite is the highest functioning eco-friendly insulation plaster available. Diathonite was a medal winner within the Best Eco Product category at EcoBuild 2011
Thermal Insulation
Exceptional thermal insulation properties. When applied internally or externally, Diathonite creates a seamless thermal barrier which eliminates any risk of cold bridging within the structure. Thermal conductivity is 0.045 W/mK
Acoustic Insulation
Impressive acoustic characteristics - over twice the performance of conventional plasters or renders. The internal application of Diathonite to party walls significantly reduces sound transference between properties Sound absorption between 600 & 1500 Hz is >70%
Diathonite applied internally and externally to a residential property
Breathability
Newton Diathonite is very vapour permeable. The naturally occurring vapour drive continues unabated so that internally derived humidity continues to be removed from the internal habitable areas. The combination of lower internal humidity levels with higher internal wall surface temperatures ensures that the dew point temperature cannot be arrived at, completely removing the risk of condensation and surface mould. Vapour permeability = 0.7kg/m2/hr
Typical Applications
Can be applied both internally or externally
2
As a high performance insulated plaster for both the inside and outside of external walls
Can be applied directly to Newton System 800 Damp Proofing and Newton System 500 Cavity Drain meshed waterproofing membranes
The cottage now benefits from the high thermal properties of Diathonite, so keeps an even temperature all year round
Diathonite can be applied directly to Newton Damp Proofing and Cavity Drain Waterproofing meshed membranes
Diathonite can be applied externally very quickly using a specialist spray machine
