BUILDING SYSTEMS, a leading supplier of natural building products for sustainable construction, has revealed a new lightweight thermal screed called Diathonite Thermostep. 047. This latest addition to the range means Ecological Building Systems now offers a complete floor insulation solution, whether for suspended timber or solid floors.
The new Diathonite Thermostep.047 by Diasen is a sustainable thermal
screed, manufactured from cork combined with lime, which is four times lighter than a traditional screed. It is also five times more insulating and six times more resistant than traditional screeds, with a minimum thickness of 30mm. Thermostep.047 offers both thermal and acoustic insulation performance with unique properties including lightness, strength and porosity.
Like all Ecological Building Systems natural flooring solutions, Thermostep.047 is fully breathable and is capable of regulating moisture and resisting mould due to its lime-based alkalinity.
In addition, Thermostep.047 is easy to install and can be hand or spray applied with a suitable machine. Once dry, a range of floor coverings from tiles to parquet flooring can be directly applied onto the screed. This new screed can be used on floors of new builds or retrofits including heritage and listed buildings.
