Theatre soundproofing

Theatres in Italy often represent a historical heritage to be preserved. Few people take into consideration the real difficulties involved in carrying out soundproofing work combined with thermal insulation. These buildings, which have peculiar and very often unique shapes and geometries, are not infrequently a headache to solve even for the best architects and engineers specialised in acoustics. Indeed, acoustic insulation and/or soundproofing can present quite a few problems, and consequently blockages, when it comes to improving acoustic comfort. The key is to find the right solution to a very specific problem.

Certainly among the best materials for thermally and acoustically insulating theatres is the use of natural cork. This noble raw material also contributes to the thermo-hygrometric balance, allowing the walls of the structure to be insulated not only acoustically, but also thermally. Being able to apply a versatile solution that adapts to all the constraints required in cases such as theatres, where the constraints are not only structural (complex geometries) but also, and above all, bureaucratic (thicknesses, application restricted to the interior only) is the key to opening many doors towards the definitive resolution of the problem.

Diasen’s ecological and sustainable plasters allow precisely this: they combine the lightness of cork with the insulating capacity of natural hydraulic lime and other natural raw materials, adapting to the walls and allowing all types of rooms to be insulated acoustically and thermally in a non-intrusive and, above all, uniquely elegant manner.
