In 2015 began the renovation of the exterior walls, with the application of Diera TC R4 for the consolidation and repair of the structure, and the application of glue cement Diera TH Therm with a glass fiber net.

Subsequently it was applied the final coat of mortar Diera RV Fino Branco, and a layer of thermal paint Diera Tinta Ecotherm.

This intervention is part of a vast roster of urban rehabilitation works, highlighting the interventions carried out in the Palace, Quinta dos Ingleses and Catholic University of Porto, among many others.

This renovation project executed by architects Rui Jesus and Carolina Aurélio of the Office of Architecture VERUM (www.verum-atelier.pt ) had as objective the improvement of the levels of thermal and acoustic comfort, along with a visual upgrade to the interior decoration of the establishment.

For the interior walls, the adhesion promoter ADITEK P  was applied in order to increase the adhesion on the supports, with the subsequent application of cork agglomerate plates by double bonding with high performance adhesive cement DIERA CL COMPOSTO .

Afterwards, CORKGARD FUV INTERIOR  protector was applied to the cork plates in order to provide a durable coating with excellent properties of repellency to water, oil, stains and dirt of diverse nature, maintaining the natural characteristics of cork (touch, color, breathability).

Protector formulated to confer durable coatings upon the Cork agglomerates, with water-repellency properties, oil stains and soiling of different kinds.

For outdoors, provides a high resistance to UV rays and to aging.
