Protan (UK) Ltd supplies single-ply roofing membrane systems to the UK construction market. Suitable for flat, pitched or barreled roofs, Protan’s roofing systems are ideal for both new build and refurbishment projects using mechanically fixed, adhered and ballasted solutions to meet clients’ individual requirements.
Over 60 million square metres of roofing produced by Protan have been laid in Europe, offering greater durability than most traditional methods of roofing. Advanatges of Protan’s roofing systems include:
The principle function of a roof is to provide long term durable protection against the external environment to a building. Protan’s single ply roofing systems can be installed using three different methods:
PROSIP is a complete roof assembly for long span buildings. Each bespoke panel is entirely manufactured in a modern UK production facility. The PROSIP panel consists of a prefabricated SE membrane applied to a steel / timber structural core. This incorporates fire resistant mineral wool insulation along with a pre-finished soffit to the underside. Services can be incorporated in the panel design as well as acoustic and thermal requirements.
PROSIP panels are ideally suited to buildings requiring a clear span, such as schools, colleges, airports, warehouses and leisure facilities. PROSIP panels are 2.4m wide by up to 13.6m long. This reduces the need for secondary steelwork and greatly increases the versatility of internal space. The panels are suitable for both concrete and steel frames and are designed to facilitate easy mechanical lifting.
PROSIP panels offers the following benefits:
PROVAC, Protan’s unique single ply roofing system, utilises wind forces present in the environment to provide durability and protection even in extreme conditions. Since the installation of the first Norwegian vacuum roof in 1985, the system has been adopted for over 2 million square metres of roofs throughout Europe.
PROVAC works by loose laying the Protan SE membrane onto the roof with fastening only around the perimeters and penetrations. Strategically located vents within the design act as pressure release valves. The stronger the wind forces, the better the system works. The system is suitable for both new roofs and refurbishments, in particular those with structural concrete or concrete slab decks.
PROVAC offers the following benefits:
All the way from Scandinavia, Protan offer one of the simplest range of green roofing system:
Protan’s experience in green roofs goes back to its Nordic inheritance of supplying waterproofing materials for traditional turf roofs across Scandinavia since 1985.
Protan have developed a waterproof membrane designed specifically for green roof applications, PROGREEN membrane. It can be either loose laid or mechanically fixed due to the secret fix strips on the back of the membrane. This avoids the use of adhesives and ensures the membrane is fully recyclable at the end of its life cycle.
PROGREEN really is green.
