Jordaya Contracting has been hard at work on a breathtaking barn conversion project in the picturesque county of Rutland. This historic barn, full of rustic charm and character, is being brought into the future with the application of Diathonite insulated render, a state-of-the-art, eco-friendly solution.

Why Diathonite?

For this project, breathable lime insulation was the perfect choice to preserve the barn’s original beauty while improving its thermal efficiency. The Diathonite render, known for its high vapour permeability and exceptional insulating properties, ensures the building remains warm in winter and cool in summer, all while maintaining a healthy airflow. This approach is not only sustainable but also ideal for historic structures like this.

Preserving Tradition with Modern Techniques

Inside the barn, the original stone walls have been treated with care, with the Diathonite application following the contours of the structure to retain its traditional aesthetic. The use of lime insulation allows the barn to breathe, preventing dampness and ensuring long-term durability. The blend of modern engineering with traditional craftsmanship highlights Jordaya’s expertise in handling complex projects with precision and care.

Ready for the Future

This project exemplifies how historic properties can be adapted for modern living without compromising their character. Once completed, this barn will stand as a testament to the power of sustainable building techniques, creating a comfortable, energy-efficient space while honouring its past.
