A new home taking shape in Co. Kilkenny. 🏠

For the owners of this self-build project, reducing the carbon impact of construction and choosing bio-based building materials have been important considerations from the outset.

Their new home is now taking shape, incorporating EcoCocon - Straw Wall System, Gutex wood fibre insulation and airtightness solutions.

It's a great example of how self-builders are exploring alternatives to conventional construction materials, with consideration given not just to the performance of their future home, but also to the materials used to build it.

We're looking forward to seeing this project progress and sharing more as their new home takes shape.

Did you know that warm air could be escaping through your chimney, even when your fireplace isn't in use?

As temperatures drop, unused chimneys can allow warm air to escape and cold draughts to enter your home.

Made from sheep's wool, chimney draught excluders offer a simple way to reduce unwanted airflow and heat loss, helping to keep your home more comfortable during the colder months.

They're easy to install, removable and reusable, with different sizes available to suit different chimney openings.

Discover our chimney draught excluders:

One of the things that makes DIASEN plasters so unique is that even the simplest of finishes can make a big impression!
Soft, smooth surfaces, softly curved window reveals and natural textures give this interior a beautiful sense of character.

The walls were finished using Diasen's Argatherm finishing plaster, applied over Diathonite Evolution insulating plaster.

Along with Diathonite Thermactive, Evolution forms part of Diasen's range of insulating plasters, offering solutions that combine thermal performance with the freedom to create authentic, beautiful interiors.

Old stone walls are rarely perfectly straight, and that can make internal wall insulation a challenge.

On this retrofit project in Cumbria, Alex Burn from 4Site explains how our Retro EcoWall solution is being installed in a traditional building.

He talks through how Diathonite insulating plaster helps create a flat surface ready for Gutex Thermoroom wood fibre insulation boards, and why taking the time to prepare the wall makes the installation much easier.

Alex also shares why wood fibre insulation has become one of his preferred materials to work with.

Sheep's wool isn't just good at keeping sheep warm!
It's also a clever material for insulating our homes.
With colder weather settling in, it's a good time to think about how well your home is insulated, particularly in areas such as attics, roofs and suspended timber floors.

Thermafleece CosyWool contains 75% sheep's wool and offers some useful benefits beyond reducing heat loss.

✅ Moisture regulation: Wool can absorb and release moisture as humidity levels change, helping to manage moisture within the building fabric.
✅ Sound insulation: Its fibrous structure also helps reduce sound transmission.
✅ Thermal insulation: Helps limit heat loss, supporting a more comfortable indoor temperature.

Flexible and easy to fit between timber joists and studs, CosyWool is suitable for both renovation and new build projects.

Over 100 years of history, layers of previous renovations and a very different vision for the future.

We're back at The Watchtower on England's East Coast, where Roly Glancy and his family are transforming this remarkable building into a family home for generations to come.

But before they could begin improving its thermal performance, they needed to understand what was hiding behind the walls.

Removing layers of old plasterboard revealed the original concrete structure, along with signs of woodworm and black mould.

With space at a premium, the owners chose a Diathonite insulating plaster system that bonds directly to the concrete, helping improve thermal performance while supporting moisture management and avoiding unnecessary cavities.

The system also offers an A1 reaction-to-fire classification.

In this latest video, discover why the owners decided to strip everything back and how their approach to insulation is helping shape the future of The Watchtower.

A brilliant project with installation work by Tim and his team at Parker Desings.

Follow along as the transformation continues! 👀

Sometimes gaps and junctions can be a bit awkward for applying airtightness tapes.

Pro Clima Aerosana Visconn Fibre is a fibre-reinforced liquid airtight sealant that can fill gaps of up to 20mm, making it particularly useful around windows, doors, timber joists and other tricky connections.

Applied by brush or using the Pro Clima Aerofixx applicator, it creates a flexible, durable airtight seal that can accommodate movement between building components.

It's suitable for a range of surfaces, including brickwork, blockwork, concrete and timber, and can be used in both new builds and retrofit projects.
