Gas Membrane

Gas Membrane

Gases entering the home is not exactly settling. Whether you are building a project from scratch or building an extension, it’s worth making yourself aware of potential risks of ground gases. Ground gases refer to gases that exist around soil particles.

Such gases include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane and radon, all of which are asphyxiants, and pose significant health risks.

When building on land where ground gases are present, it’s highly recommended to take steps which prevent gases from entering the building. Gas membrane protection is the ideal option.

Gas membranes are usually plastic sheet membranes that suppress the entry of gases. These types of gas-proof membranes are typically installed during the initial construction stage. Many gas resistant membranes also act as damp-proof and moisture-resistant membranes which also protect buildings from ground moisture as much as they do from gases permeating the air.

These membranes are designed to be installed on concrete floors, either above or below the concrete slabs. For more information, or if you have any concerns about gas membrane installation, please get in touch with us today.
