Proctor Group’s technical department for suitability on these sites DESCRIPTION Protech GM+ is a high performance proprietary reinforced gas barrier, that has been specifically designed to conform with the latest guidance documents. Due to its unique composition the membrane is extremely robust and flexible and therefore easy to install on site. The membrane also provides protection from damp and, therefore, there is no need to install a separate DPM. TYPICAL PROPERTIES Roll Length Ciria 665, BS8485 & Local Authority Ground Gas Handbook recommended that gas membranes are specified on the basis of the ‘need to survive’ construction, i.e. use one that is puncture and tear resistant. Thickness should not be the main determinant of the suitability of a membrane for a particular site, although it can indirectly influence some key performance parameters. In practise, because of the nature of construction sites, the durability, survivability and robustness of membranes are equally important than purely permeability to gas. Protech GM+ incorporates a reinforced grid to ensure that maximum protection is achieved when installed to manufacturers’ instructions. The need for high quality workmanship during installation should not be under-estimated. The health and safety of the occupants of the building is dependent on its satisfactory performance. If installed incorrectly or damaged during the construction process, the membrane is rendered ineffective and will fail to provide adequate protection against the ingress of ground gas or vapours.

PROTECH GM+ TAPED JOINT INSTALLATION PROCEDURE STEP 1 Roll out Protech GM+ gas membrane and apply Protech GM double-sided tape 50mm from edge of Protech GM+ gas membrane as shown below and run a stiff brush down the Protech GM double-sided tape to ensure it is well adhered to Protech GM+ gas membrane. STEP 2 Roll out next sheet of Protech GM+ gas membrane maintaining a minimum 150mm overlap with bottom sheet. to expose the Protech GM double-sided tape. Pick the release paper from the top of the Protech GM double-sided tape and pull the release paper away from the Protech GM double-sided tape...
