The Complete Solution– <strong>Visqueen</strong>’s GasProtection SystemProtection of buildingsand occupiersThe main methods of protecting buildingsfrom gas ingress are the provision of arobust floor slab and gas resistant barrieracross the floor slab combined with anunderfloor passive venting system.At <strong>Visqueen</strong> we offer a comprehensiverange of gas barriers (a traditionaldamp proof membrane is NOT suitablefor protection on gas contaminatedland) and ventilation systems to protectagainst all the aforementioned gasesand contaminants. When installed inaccordance with the relevant codesof practice, <strong>Visqueen</strong>’s Gas Systemsare essential components to provide aprotective barrier to gas ingress. Also,all <strong>Visqueen</strong> gas barrier products act asdamp proof membranes.Gas BarriersThe impermeable gas membrane providesa barrier to gas ingress and should becontinuous beneath the full ground floorplan of the building. <strong>Visqueen</strong> offers fullprotection against the ingress of harmfulmethane, radon, CO 2and hydrocarbongases. Used in conjunction with <strong>Visqueen</strong>Gas Resistant DPCs, Gas BarrierJointing Systems and Gas Resistant SelfAdhesive Membrane, these systems offersuperior protection.To ease specification issues,<strong>Visqueen</strong> has produced a productselector that responds to the variousand complex design challenges on gascontaminated lands.gas Product selector<strong>Visqueen</strong> ProductGases involvedRadon CO 2Methane Hydrocarbons Page RefGX Geomembrane 36Gas Barrier 38Low Permeable Gas Membrane * 42CO 244Radon 46*Low Levels34
