Decork Design
THE THERMAL EFFECT OF CORK
Decork Design contributes to the thermal insulation action. We make the most from the intrinsic talent of nature.
INFORMATION
MATERIALS
The raw materials used in the formulation that make it special have one common point: their natural origin.
-Water Based Resin -Cork
THERMAL INSULATION
- λ = 0,086 W/mK
- Thanks to the right mix of carefully selected natural raw materials, the product achieves very high thermal insulation performance.

FUNCTIONALITY
The product is able to combine style and design with protection and well-being.
WOOD
Thoroughly clean the surface by removing dust, debris and detaching parts. The wood must be completely dry, well resistant and stable. Treat the wooden surfaces with the primer Grip Primer (see technical data sheet) before the application of Decork Alfareflex. Do not apply the product on wooden supports, match-boarding or on supports with many joints.
PLASTERBOARD
On plasterboard surfaces, make sure that the joints are sealed and smoothed; then, apply Grip Primer (see technical data sheet).
METAL
Perfectly clean the surface, eliminating dirt and any loose paint. Before proceeding with the application of Decork Design, prime the metal surfaces with Grip Primer (see technical data sheet). In the presence of rust, before applying Grip Primer, treat the surface with suitable anti-rust products
PERMABILITY
- μ = 15
- Walls free to breathe. Thanks to the high permeability, the humidity of the interior is perfectly balanced, thus avoiding the formation of mould and condensation.
CORK REVOLUTIONIZES THE INTERIOR DESIGN
“Architecture is basically the design of interiors, the art of organizing interior space.”
Philip Johnson
CRACK BRIDGING ABILITY
- 2,5 mm
- Ability of the material to resist the propagation of cracks and fissures in the substrate to which it is applied.
CLEANING
The equipment used can be washed with water immediately after use. After the complete drying of the product, for cleaning it is recommended to use neutral detergents, not too aggressive. Choose the most suitable cleaning method (sponge, brush or hydro-cleaning) based on the type of dirt present.
STORAGE
Store the product in its original containers perfectly closed, in well ventilated areas, away from sunlight, water and frost, at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C (41°F and 95°F). Storage time: 12 months.
SMOOTH SURFACE
On particularly smooth and non-absorbent surfaces, use the specific primer Grip Primer (see technical data sheet). For supports not listed in the data sheet, contact Diasen technical office.
TREATMENT OF JOINTS
Any joints on the substrate (joints between panels in concrete or other material, expansion, control or insulation joints) must be treated before applying Decork Design with the polyurethane sealant Diaseal Strong (see technical data sheet). The points of contact with the thresholds of doors and windows shall also be treated with the Diaseal Strong sealant.
OLD PLASTER
Make sure that the plaster is consistent and well adhered to the substrate, if not, provide for partial or total removal and remaking of the same. In the case of painted plasters, given the great variety of paints on the market, it is advisable to perform an adhesion test to verify the suitability of the application or the need to use Color Primer (see technical data sheet). On rough plasters proceed with the direct application of Decork Design, while in the case of rough and dusty substrates use the primer Color Primer (see technical data sheet).
PLASTERBOARD
On plasterboard surfaces, make sure that the joints are sealed and smoothed. Apply the fixative Grip Primer (see technical data sheet).
MIXING
-Always mix the product before application with a helical-tip mixer until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. -Completely empty the contents of the bag into the bucket and add the color by pouring the entire contents of the package. -Mix the compound for at least 2 or 3 minutes until a uniform color mixture is obtained. The product is ready for use and generally should not be diluted. In extremely hot climatic conditions, it is possible to add: – For applications by hand, maximum 5% of water (0.9 L - 0.2 gal of water each 18 kg – 39.6 lb packaging). – For applications with hopper gun, maximum 10% of water (1.8 L – 0.47 gal per 18 kg – 39.6 lb packaging). -It is recommended to always dilute the product in the same way to avoid variations in colour. -Mix the compound again. - Never add external components to the mixture.
CONCRETE
In case of new realised cement substrate, this must be sufficiently cured. In presence of lesions, holes or irregular areas, restore them with suitable cement mortar, such as Rebuild40 R4 (see data sheet). For a better adhesion on smooth and not moist concrete, it is recommended to Grip Primer (see technical data sheet). On moist supports, nut not onto the ground, in order to avoid blistering or detachment phenomena, use Vapostop (see technical data sheet) as a primer. If the support is affected by rising damp, it is necessary the use of WATstop (see technical data sheet). WATstop can also be used to fill small cracks and to level the support. On rough concrete use the primer Vapostop (see technical data sheet).
PREPARATION OF SUPPORT
The substrate must be completely hardened and have sufficient strength. The surface must be perfectly level, thoroughly clean, dry, without oils, greases, crumbly and inconsistent parts or other materials that may affect the adhesion of the product. In cases where the surface is on the whole friable, completely scarify it until a good support is obtained and restore the lesions or degraded parts with suitable mortar. In case of water cleaning, wait for the support to dry completely. Any moisture present in the substrate and the vapor that forms as a result of irradiation may affect the adhesion of the applied product.
FOR DECORATING WALLS, FLOORS AND CEILINGS
-Decorative coating based on cork and water-based resins -Suitable for creating decorative effects -Breathable and water repellent -Excellent aesthetic effect -Easy and quick to apply -LEED mapped and CE marked -Fire resistant
TILED FLOORS
Make sure that the tiles are well bonded to the substrate; otherwise, remove them and restore them with suitable cement mortar. The tiled surface must not show traces of detaching substances, such as greases, waxes, oils, chemicals, etc. After carefully cleaning the substrate, the surface must be treated with Grip Primer (see technical data sheet). To fill the joints between the tiles and create a perfectly level surface, apply the product Vaposhield (see technical data sheet) by hand with an aluminum or rubber trowel in two layers. Vaposhield should also be used if the substrate is damp or affected by rising damp. Considering the great variety of tiles present, carry out a test to evaluate the result
