Historical building in the center of Valencia, Spain

Valencian Historical Building: the sustainable restauration of comfort.

The port city of Valencia lies on the south-east coast of Spain, where the Turia River meets the Mediterranean Sea. In one of these streets, which extends into the oldest part of Valencia’s historic centre, there is a historic palace to which Diasen solutions have been applied.

The technical pillars of the intervention

The Valencia Building, abandoned for years, has been entirely renovated thanks to the use of 4 cm of Diathonite Evolution.

The Diasen solution was approved by the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage thanks to its 100% natural composition and thanks to the compatibility of cork and lime with the existing masonry.

One of the requirements of the intervention was to insulate with a relatively small thickness. Finally, the building was finished with Argacem Colorato.
