Radon (Rn)
Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that is colourless and odourless. It can migrate from the ground into buildings and may increase long-term health risks if it accumulates indoors.

Ground gas protection is an essential part of building design on sites where harmful gases, such as radon, methane or carbon dioxide, may be present in the ground. Without an effective protection system, these gases can enter the building through cracks, joints and service penetrations, creating risks to occupants and the long-term performance of the property.
Proctor Group provides ground gas protection solutions designed to create a continuous, well-sealed barrier across floors, walls and key junctions. With support on product selection, detailing and installation, we help project teams address site-specific risks and achieve reliable protection throughout the building.
Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that is colourless and odourless. It can migrate from the ground into buildings and may increase long-term health risks if it accumulates indoors.
Methane is a colourless, odourless and highly flammable gas produced by decomposing organic material. It may occur near landfill, mining or peat-rich sites and can create fire or explosion risks.
Carbon dioxide is a colourless and odourless gas produced by the breakdown of carbon-based materials. At high concentrations, it can displace oxygen and create a serious risk to occupants.
VOCs are carbon-based chemicals that may be present in soil, groundwater or vapour. They are associated with fuels, solvents and industrial activity, with risks varying by contaminant.
Our products are backed up by a dedicated team of technical experts, able to assist at every project stage from pre-planning to on site.
We offer CAD detail reviews, installation guidance, condensation risk analysis, WUFi calculations, U-Value calculations, ground gas system designs, telephone support & more. Our products also have a range of BIM Objects & Performance Specifications
“We have successfully used Protech VOC Flex on several VOC vapour protection projects. It offers high-performance protection in compliance with CIRIA C748, is extremely robust and has many benefits. One of these being that when the geomembrane is folded the product has “memory”, which enhances the speed, finished appearance and quality of the overall installation.”
“Protech GM Super is a reliable robust membrane with good welding characteristics and has performed excellently on the project. In addition, Protech Self Adhesive Gas Membrane (Protech SAGM) was used in detailing and vertical installation applications. The 300mm width of Protech SAGM make it ideal for perimeter and detailing work.
We are delighted with the performance of Protech GM Super and Protech SAGM and will continue to use them on future projects.”
