Radon Mitigation System - Radon Guard®
Radon Guard® Insulation is a key component of any radon mitigation system.
CCMC 13698-R Evaluated as a code alternative solution
Radon Guard is evaluated and approved by the National Research Council Canadian Construction Materials Centre and certified as a code compliant replacement or alternative for the problematic prescriptive solution specified in the code.
It provides advantages over the use of code prescriptive gravel, which can be regionally hard to find, expensive to transport and labour intensive to install - is also a potential source of radon itself. Radon Guard is available at most building suppliers, is competitively priced, fast, clean and easy to install. Cost effective, efficient insulated under-slab ventilation system.
Developed by architect Randi Fox, Radon Guard is currently installed in LEED gold standard buildings in Canada. Radon Guard incorporates building science to improve indoor air quality and save lives. Visit case studies.
