There are regions of Ontario where radon gas seems to be a problem, however, testing gas exposure is not part of the Ontario Building Code but part of the health Canada guidelines.
That is why, Amvic is proud to introduce a new product called Amrad which is an insulated under slab depressurization panel, and a key component in a radon gas mitigation system. The space created by the integrated channels serves as an air gap for soil gas collection which means that the radon gas can vent out to the exterior using a connected PVC piping with a continuously running exhaust fan. This panelized solution with its unique channel design, void percentage, film and foam density creates a strong and durable panel, giving builders the ability to build an insulated concrete slab while meeting radon building code requirements and improving the indoor air quality for occupants.
- Superior radon gas mitigation has an exceptional Long-Term R-Value Retention (LTTR) as well as an increased thermal resistance in lower temperatures.
- Durable, lightweight, and Flexible
- Healthier indoor air quality does not contain CFCs or HCFCs, no off-gassing and does not promote the growth of mold and mildew.
- Built in air and vapor barrier, when the joints are taped and sealed functions as both an air and vapor barrier.
- Easy installation
- Increase comfort and energy savings, acts as continuous insulation in the building envelope, reducing thermal bridging and energy consumption while improving comfort.
Amvic will continue to provide innovative and high-performance insulation building solutions that help construct energy-efficient homes that are disaster-resilient and sustainable, ensuring the highest level of quality and comfort.
