Protan (UK) Limited is the UK subsidiary of Protan AS, a
multi-national family owned Company established in 1939 and based in
Norway. Protan also operates in Denmark, Finland, Poland and Sweden
with associates in many other European countries.
Protan AS has manufactured waterproofing materials for over 60 years
and roofing membranes since 1971; the first roofing membrane was
installed in 1971 and is still performing satisfactorily. Millions
of square metres have now been laid, waterproofing roofs with
reliability and durability over a broad range of roof shapes and
designs.
Protan is Scandinavia's largest producer of thermoplastic roofing
membranes and is at the forefront of membrane technology.
Protan production processes are strictly controlled to maintain
quality. Protan AS is committed to recycling and energy control and
is registered to ISO 9001: Quality System Certification and ISO
14001: Environmental Certification.
Protan is an environmentally concerned manufacturer of
plastic-coated textiles; our environmental policy promotes products
and attitudes, which contribute to reducing the overall consumption
of natural resources.
Protan membranes are accredited by the British Board of Agrément and
tested by the Building Research Establishment and Loss Prevention
Council; Protan production processes are strictly controlled to
maintain quality.
Protan membranes and systems are proven to be durable under the
extreme conditions of the Scandinavian climate where temperatures
can range from -40°C during winter months, to +40°C during the
summer. The region experiences harsh weather conditions and storm
force winds far more severe than in the UK.
Protan roofing systems are compatible with most structural schemes.
They are lightweight, thermally efficient and provide visual
qualities of colour and texture that are sympathetic with most
building types. Protan materials are cost effective and reliable
solutions to construction requirements.
The company specialises in the fabrication of a range of Protan
synthetic canvasses used for a variety of applications, including
tented structures, ducting and containment vessels.
Environment - Green Roofs
Protan aims are the continuous development of production methods and
products, which produce a minimum of environmentally harmful waste,
increase recycling, and reduce waste. Protan’s policy ensures focus
and commitment on sustainable development in our marketing and
training for our staff in environmental issues.
Protan AS has systematically made efforts to improve their
environmental performance. Programmes for reduction of the use of
raw material and other natural resources, reduction of waste and
pollution and other significant negative impacts on the local and
global environment, have been approved.
Their environmental policy is underpinned by ISO 14001, an
Environmental Management System, which covers all operations in
Protan AS, Norway, where Protan membranes are manufactured. The
policy covers product development, marketing and sales, purchase,
production, distribution, installation, service and recycling. The
system was certified by Det Norske Veritas in December 1997.
The environmental aspects that have a significant impact on the
environment have been dealt with either by reduction projects in our
improvement programmes or within new procedures in our Quality
Assurance System and Environmental Management System.
Protan and Recycling - Green Roofing Systems
Protan AS, as a member of ESWA (European Single Ply Waterproofing
Association), signed a voluntary commitment for recycling of roofing
membranes. The commitment is to recycle at least 50% of the
collectable, available quantity of roofing membrane.
Recycled materials are processed and prepared as raw materials for
new membranes. In the future organic materials will not be allowed
to be sent to land fill (EU-directive). It is expected that 40% of
the roofing membranes will be used for energy production.
