Qty:

Visqueen Gas Barrier NF-400 is a co-extruded, multi-layer thermoplastic gas membrane, 0.4mm thick (400 micron). The membrane is transparent with a blue tint and supplied 2.4m x 43.5m in a single wound roll.

Features & benefits:

  • BDA Agrement Certification – third party accreditation
  • Complies with NHBC Foundation NF94 guidance for use in Type A membrane locations – non foil system
  • Complies with the methane gas transmission rate, mass per unit area and thickness requirements of BS 8485:2015 + A1:2019 – industry standard for methane and carbon dioxide protection
  • Transparent – allows a clear view of the substrate during and post installation
  • Multi functional – also acts as a radon and damp proof membrane
  • Dual jointing methods – depending upon specification, lap joints can be heat welded or taped

Usage:

Visqueen Gas Barrier NF-400 is suitable for use in all types of buildings to prevent the ingress of harmful levels of methane, carbon dioxide and radon.

The barrier can be positioned above or below reinforced cast in situ concrete floor slabs e.g. ground bearing, suspended or raft, or above precast suspended segmental subfloors, e.g. beam and block floor.

The barrier can also be used as a high performance radon membrane and/or damp proof membrane.

Radon, carbon dioxide, and methane protection – NHBC NF94 guidance:
Visqueen Gas Barrier NF-400 when installed with either welded or taped joints complies with NHBC Foundation NF94 publication, Hazardous ground gas – an essential guide for housebuilders, in Type A membrane locations in precast suspended segmental subfloors and reinforced cast in situ concrete floor slabs (ground bearing, suspended or raft).

For site or zone characteristic gas situations of CS4 and above, contact Visqueen Technical Services.

The barrier is not intended for use where there is a risk of hydrostatic pressure.

Approvals and standards:

  • Third party accreditation (BDA Agrement Certificate BAB-24-339-P-A-UK) Complies with the methane gas transmission rate, mass per unit area and thickness requirements of BS 8485:2015 + A1:2019
  • Suitable for all Characteristic Gas Situation (CS) ground gas regimes
  • Complies with NHBC Foundation NF94 guidance for use in Type A membrane locations (non foil system)
  • Conforms to the specification requirements of NHBC Amber 1 and Amber 2 applications
  • Conforms to the specification requirements of BR 211:2023
