Suitable for the following applications:
Ventilation:
Visqueen recommends when high levels of ground gases and VOCs are present in accordance with BS 8485:2015 and CIRIA C716 or when the generation of gases still occurs, then an open void beneath the ground floor should be constructed as ventilation beneath the ground floor will dilute and disperse the gases to atmosphere. Open voids are normally restricted to beam and block floors or other precast concrete floor systems. An alternative for providing ventilation to in situ concrete floor slabs is to install a Visqueen Gas Venting System.
