Diathonite Thermactive.037 is the most insulating plaster in the Diathonite line, at λ 0.037 W/mK. Recycled cork, expanded amorphous silica, perlite and pumice trap air in a porous matrix bound with NHL 5 lime; each centimetre adds R 0.270, providing optimal thermal comfort in both summer and winter. Spray-applied from 1.5 cm, indoors or out; A1 fire-rated and undamaged by dampness, so it suits basements, historic restorations and facades.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Diathonite Thermactive.037 used for?
    It's designed for ultra-high thermal insulation in residential, commercial, and historic buildings. Ideal for walls, ceilings, and energy-efficient renovations.

    How does it compare to other insulating plasters?
    It has the lowest thermal conductivity (λ = 0.037 W/mK) in the Diathonite line — making it the most thermally efficient.

    How thick should it be applied?
    Typically 15–40 mm, depending on structural and insulation needs. Can be applied in multiple layers.

    Can it be used on exterior walls?
    Yes — but it must be protected with a compatible topcoat like Argacem or Decork Design.

    Is it suitable for heritage buildings?
    Yes — its breathability makes it perfect for historic masonry that needs to "breathe" to prevent damage.

    Can I paint over it?
    Yes — once cured, it can be painted with mineral or lime-based paints.

    Do I need a primer?
    It depends on the substrate.
    Use Aquabond on smooth, non-absorbent surfaces (e.g., concrete, painted walls, plasterboard).
    Not needed on absorbent masonry (brick, stone, old plaster).

    How is it installed?
    By hand trowel or spray machine. We recommend professional installation for large projects.

    Is it fire-resistant?
    Yes — classified as A1 (non-combustible) under EN 13501-1.
