Ground-level construction projects: The Novia 1600g Radon Gas Barrier is good to use in ground-level construction projects because it provides an effective barrier against the entry of radon gas from the ground into buildings. Its high-density material ensures a reliable seal that can withstand the pressures of being installed beneath floor slabs or foundations. Additionally, the barrier is suitable for a range of environments, including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, ensuring compliance with regulations in areas with high radon levels. Its durability also makes it well-suited for long-term use in construction projects.

What is the Novia 1600G Radon Gas Barrier?

Novia 1600G Radon Gas Barrier is a high-performance, durable membrane designed to protect buildings from radon gas ingress. It is made from a multi-layer virgin polymer material, offering excellent protection against hazardous ground gases such as radon, methane, and CO₂.

What gases can the Novia 1600G Radon Gas Barrier protect against?

The Novia 1600G Radon Gas Barrier is designed to protect against radon, methane, carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water vapour. It provides an effective solution for protecting buildings in areas with high radon or other harmful ground gases.

How is Novia 1600G Radon Gas Barrier installed?

Novia 1600G Radon Gas Barrier is typically installed on the foundation or underfloor area of a building. It should be laid on a smooth, prepared surface, with overlaps of at least 150mm between sheets. The joints should be sealed using Novia tapes or welding techniques, and the barrier should be connected to other gas-resistant layers, such as cavity trays or damp-proof courses.

Is Novia 1600G Radon Gas Barrier suitable for all building types?

Yes, Novia 1600G Radon Gas Barrier can be used in both residential and commercial buildings. It is suitable for use in new builds as well as retrofitting projects where gas protection is required, particularly in areas with elevated radon levels.
