Summary
Rhinoplast Super Gas Membrane Barrier, High-performance monolithic hybrid co-polymer Radon, Amber 1 gas membrane and damp-proof membrane (DPM).
Rhinoplast Super Gas Membrane Barrier, High-performance monolithic hybrid co-polymer Radon, Amber 1 gas membrane and damp-proof membrane (DPM).
Application
- To prevent the ingress of radon in both basic and full radon protection areas.
- Positioned loose lay within the ground floor construction.
- Robust to install above and below structural floor.
- Suitable for line out installations to cover the entire footprint of the building to reduce joints.
- Suitable for low gas risk NHBC housing sites designated Amber 1 to prevent the ingress of harmful ground gases for low-rise residential housing applications when the gas membrane is used above a well-ventilated sub floor void.
