CRUISE TERMINAL
Overlooking the Tagus, the Lisbon Cruise Terminal by João Luís Carrilho da Graça is a monumental urban gateway to the city. Across some 30,000 m², the intervention with Diasen cork bio-mortars delivers outstanding comfort and sustainability for the entire structure.
The thermal insulation of the car parks is entrusted to Diathonite Evolution, perfected by the Argacem HP and Argacem Ultrafine levelling coats and the Acrilid Protect Coating protection to match the smooth aesthetic envisioned by the designer.
In the passenger areas and plant rooms, Diathonite Acoustix+ corrects acoustic reverberation, while Diathonite Deumix+ bio-mortar – applied at 3 to 5 cm thickness – counteracts rising damp in the basement levels, shielding the structure from the saline environment.
Products Applied
Diathonite Evolution
Fibre-reinforced cork and lime based bio-mortar
Breathable high-porosity bio-mortar for warm/cold thermal insulation. Fire resistant, naturally mould-proof, bacteriostatic and recyclable at end of life.
Argacem HP
Highly breathable mineral levelling coat
Lime-based mineral levelling coat for interiors and exteriors. Combines high breathability and antibacterial properties with excellent substrate coverage.
Argacem Ultrafine
Lime-based extra-fine levelling coat
Mineral levelling coat with high workability, designed to achieve perfectly smooth white finishes with high aesthetic quality.
Diathonite Acoustix+
Sound-absorbing, breathable cork and lime based bio-mortar
Wall and ceiling coating that eliminates reverberation and cuts reflected noise. Ensures high breathability and dehumidifying capacity, together with good thermal insulation properties and fire resistance.
Diathonite Deumix+
Dehumidifying, salt-resistant cork and lime based bio-mortar
A unique solution combining a dehumidifying plaster and a salt-resistant rendering coat. Its macroporous structure blocks salt migration to the surface and promotes the natural evaporation of water from the wall.
Acrilid Protect Coating
Coloured interior and exterior wall paint resistant to salt-laden air
Coloured protective finish, water-repellent and breathable for interiors and exteriors. Perfect to complete Diathonite systems, it prevents water absorption and offers high resistance in saline environments.
