We do a lot to protect our loved ones from diseases and unknown health risks. We pick the right nutrition, get health insurance, and protect each other from indulging into unhealthy habits. But what do you do when the dangers are unseen? Something unseen and odourless like Radon? Radon is a radioactive gas that may be present in your residential building which poses a significant health risk.

And when present in high concentration numbers, it can even lead to lung cancer. Why take the risk? To combat this danger, Megaplast, a trusted manufacturer of geomembranes in India offers innovative radon barriers which are designed to prevent the entry of radon gas into buildings.

Let’s explore the functions of radon barriers and see how they can help in protecting you and your loved ones against serious risks: 

1. Blocking harmful radon gas Megaplast's Radon Barrier, made of EVOH induced 7-layer sheet, ensures superior performance and long-lasting protection against radon infiltration. During the foundation stage in constructions,  these protective membranes create a barrier between the ground and the building structure, preventing radon from seeping through cracks and gaps. 
2. Structural protection Megaplast's Radon Barrier, made of EVOH induced 7-layer sheet, ensures superior performance and long-lasting protection against radon infiltration. During the foundation stage in constructions,  these protective membranes create a barrier between the ground and the building structure, preventing radon from seeping through cracks and gaps.
   In addition to safeguarding indoor air quality, our radon barriers also offer structural protection against soil gases such as methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These gases can cause corrosion and deterioration over time but are effectively blocked by robust geomembrane materials used in radon barrier sheets 
3. Improving indoor air quality By preventing radon gas from entering indoor spaces, our radon barriers significantly improve indoor air quality. Installing them helps maintain a healthy living environment, reducing the risk of lung cancer and other respiratory issues associated with radon exposure.
4. Durability and longevity Megaplast's Radon Barrier is constructed with high-quality materials, ensuring its durability and longevity. The 7-layer radon barrier with EVOH enhances its resistance to punctures, tears, and scraping, making it capable of withstanding harsh conditions. This longevity ensures that the barrier continues to protect the building and its occupants for many years.
5. Effortless installation
   Another key advantage of Megaplast's Radon Barrier is its flexibility and ease of installation. The barrier's design allows easy implementation during the construction process, saving both time and effort. This feature is feasible for builders and contractors, enabling them to incorporate radon protection seamlessly into their projects.
   Radon barriers are an indispensable measure to protect buildings and occupants from the harmful effects of radon gas. Megaplast 's Radon Barrier, with its EVOH induced construction is an ideal solution to keep risks at bay. For a safer and healthier environment, trust Megaplast to protect your structures against radon gas intrusion.
