John Newton & Company announces the Launch of Newton Diathonite Insulation Plaster

March 13, 2012 - PRLog -- John Newton & Company and Diasen present our new acoustic insulating plaster, Diathonite. Diathonite is a premixed plaster, fibre-reinforced with cork, clay powders and NHL 3.5 natural hydraulic lime. Diathonite has unrivalled thermal and acoustic properties and the plaster is both hard wearing and flexible.

Diathonite, when applied either internally or externally, creates a seamless thermal barrier which eliminates any risk of cold bridging within the structure

Diathonite Insulating Plaster – Key Benefits

•   Eco-Friendly –less than 2% inorganic material and exceptional properties makes Diathonite is the highest functioning eco-friendly insulation plaster on the market
•   Outstanding Acoustic Insulation Properties – over twice the performance of conventional plasters or renders. Sound absorption between 600 and 1500 Hz is >70%
•   Reducing sound transference between properties – when applied to party walls
•   Thermal Insulation – very good thermal insulation properties. Thermal conductivity is 0.045 W/mK
•   Breathability – Diathonite Insulating Plaster is highly vapour permeable and completely removes the risk of condensation and surface mould

Typical Applications for Diathonite

•   As a ‘green’ product it is ideal for applying to Listed Buildings
•   To apply directly to Newton Meshed Cavity Drain Waterproofing and Damp Proofing Membranes
•   As a sound insulating plaster for both external and internal walls
•   As a high performance thermal insulated plaster which keeps the room temperature constant

Benefits of a Split Application

Application of Newton Diathonite Insulation Plaster can be split between internal and external application, whereas conventional insulation can only be added to the inside of the walls and so impacts greatly on the internal space. It is usual for the internally applied insulation to then have a covering, such as plasterboard, which further reduces habitable space.

By splitting the application of Diathonite between the inside and outside of the wall, similar insulation characteristics can be achieved with just half the space loss of conventional insulation

Launching at EcoBuild 2012

Newton Diathonite Eco Thermal Plaster will be launching at EcoBuild 2012,– please visit us on stand number N820 and we would be delighted to present more details about this revolutionary new product!
