Methane Barrier
Methane gas is a colourless, odourless, and highly flammable substance that can seep into homes and buildings. It is a byproduct of organic material decomposition, commonly found in farms, bogs, and landfills.
To avoid this gas, OR Radon offers methane barrier installation throughout Ireland. A methane barrier is a physical barrier installed beneath the foundation of a building to prevent the infiltration of methane gas.
​
Methane barriers work on a simple principle. They create an impermeable barrier between the ground and your building. This barrier prevents methane from entering your home or workplace.
