Your design, our solution.
Protan offers a range of high specification roof membranes which not only provide an effective and economical means of waterproofing large conventional roofs, but also allows the specifier ample scope to design unusual and visually exciting roofing elements. Applications are suitable for new build and refurbishment work. Protan SE is for mechanical attachment and Protan G for fully bonded and protected systems.
Protan SE:    Protan SE is manufactured from PVC with a core of woven polyester. The core weighs approximately 80 g/m2. The PVC contains a stabiliser which makes the product resistant to high and low temperatures, UV degradation and makes it flame retardant. It is available in two thicknesses: 1.2mm and 1.6mm. Both options may be supplied with either a 180 g/m2 polyester fleece or a 50 g/m2 glass tissue laminated to the underside. The membrane is fixed by means of plates with recessed tubes, holed to take a fastener. The recess conceals the head of the fastener.
There are two methods of attachment, the standard overlap system and the patented secret-fix system (please contact our Technical Services Department for information).
Protan G:    Protan G is a roofing membrane of pliable PVC with a core of glass fibre. The core weighs approximately 50 g/m2 and the PVC layer on either side includes a stabiliser which makes the product resistant to high and low temperatures, ultraviolet radiation etc. whilst making it flame retardant. It also contains a fungicide. The membrane is available in two types: Protan G 1.5 of thickness 1.5mm and GT 2.4 of thickness 2.4mm.
