The cladding was added to east, west and south facing walls – part
flint/rubble/ pebble, part brick – the north side was done some years earlier
Blocks of diffutherm are held in place with plastic pins and
steel racking
Covered in a plastic mesh and then lime render
Finally a coloured weather proof coat is applied
The house is noticeably warmer with walls formerly
cold to touch in winter, now warm. For a case
study where reduced energy (gas) use was actually
measured see

This brings an old wall up to about the standard
required in the UK for new build
Diffutherm is available in the UK from Natural
Building Technologies at
