An important part of school buildings are old and inadequate structures that often put the safety of students, teachers and school staff at risk.

In this context of structural fragility of buildings, a crucial aspect for safety and prevention is represented by the collapse of floors, a phenomenon due to the detachment of the bottom of the piñatas and of the plaster of floors made of latero-concrete.

These are events that can have unpredictable consequences, ranging from the uninhabitable nature of premises subject to the collapse of materials to dramatic circumstances, in which people can be directly involved, as in some news cases in which the sudden detachment of ceiling elements has caused very serious damage to entire schoolchildren.  This is why prevention is the only possible and far-sighted approach to reduce the risk of accidents of this nature and scale.

Diasen, always attentive to the safety of people and to the quality of buildings, has developed Diathonite Safety System consisting of a reinforcing mesh, a kit of fixing elements to be used according to the type of support and an ecological mortar chosen according to the possible thermal and/or acoustic purposes of the project; this last element makes the Diasen system more qualifying and differentiated compared to other comparable systems on the market.

In case it is necessary to guarantee excellent sound insulation and sound absorption performance, it is advisable to use Diathonite Acoustix⁺, the acoustic ecological mortar based on cork and lime, while if the intervention privileges the thermal component of comfort, Diathonite Thermactive.037 Mediterranean ecological mortar is the most effective and suitable solution.

Diathonite Acoustix⁺

In case of acoustic interventions, the product is ideal to be applied in anti-cracking systems thanks to the presence of cork and to its physical and mechanical properties. Diathonite Acoustix⁺ is an eco-friendly premixed plaster designed for acoustic insulation and soundproofing wall and ceiling coverings. Formulated with natural raw materials such as cork (granulometry 0 – 3 mm), clay, diatomaceous powders and hydraulic binder, it is characterised by an excellent soundproofing capacity and allows to eliminate reverberation and reduce reflected noise.
