University of Belgrade
Faculty of Medicine,
Serbia

The University of Belgrade is the biggest and the oldest public university in Serbia. Founded in 1808 as the Belgrade Higher School in revolutionary Serbia, by 1838 it merged with the Kragujevac-based departments into a single university.

The historic headquarters of the Belgrade Medicine University have been completely restored by the use of the cork-based plasters of the Diathonite line.

The facades of the building, which border with one of the Serbian capital hospital, were thermally insulated with Diathonite Evolution, applied with an average thickness of 4 cm, while the bottom part of the walls, affected by evident and heavy humidity problems, were treated with Diathonite Deumix+, Diasen’s dehumidifying and anti-saline plaster.

The great hall indoors, on the other hand, were treated with Diathonite Acoustix, to improve the acoustic and reduce reverberation. Diathonite Acoustix, in this case, was applied with a thickness of 3 cm onto ceilings and walls, and was then finished with Limepaint.

Thermal Conductivity

λ = 0,045 W/mK

Thanks to the right mix of carefully selected natural raw materials, the product achieves good thermal insulation performance.

Breathability

μ = 4

Walls free to breathe. Thanks to the high permeability, the humidity in the interior is perfectly balanced, thus avoiding the formation of mould and condensation.

Fire reaction

A1 class

Classified in class A1 according to UNI EN ISO 13501-1. Zero flame generation and smoke emission.
