As Protan continues to lead in sustainable and innovative roofing solutions, we are proud to announce the transition from Protan SE Titanium+ to Protan SE 1.8. This change marks a significant step forward in aligning with environmental standards, enhancing product quality, and improving installation efficiency.

At Protan, quality is a cornerstone of everything we do. Our laboratory plays a crucial role in ensuring that our products meet the highest quality standards.

Protan has officially launched a new production facility in Gebze, Istanbul, Türkiye. This cutting-edge plant will produce high-quality thermoplastic TPO and PVC membranes for roofing, tunnels, and water protection systems.

Protan Vacuum Roof is a unique solution that ensures rapid installation without the need for fasteners on the roof surface. Using the power of the wind, the roofing membrane is sucked onto the roof structure, making it ideal for refurbishment of large roof areas. The more the wind blows, the better the system works.

In March 2024, European legislators adopted the EU Solar Standard within the European Performance of Buildings Directive, mandating solar installations on buildings across the European Union. This initiative, effective gradually from 2026, supports the EU’s goal of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030.

Protan’s 'NextGen TPO' project started back in 2020 at our TPO production line in Gebze, Turkey.

Protan is a company that offers flat-roof solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and are compliant with BREEAM standards. Protan's goal is to make our products better, stronger, and more durable while having the lowest climate impact in the flat-roof market.

Waste is a significant environmental challenge in the building and construction industry, and Protan is now taking an important step in reducing the amount of waste through a collaboration with one of our insulation suppliers, Rockwool.

Protan's thermoplastic roof membrane emerges as a sustainable alternative to the conventional bitumen membrane. The environmental impact is further highlighted by the fact that replacing every 50 square meters of Protan roof membrane for a 5 mm bitumen membrane results in a reduction of heavy oil consumption equivalent to one oil barrel. This innovation positions Protan as a driving force in the movement toward greener roofing solutions.

Roofs have unlimited potential that is only restricted by the architect or builder's creativity. But how do you best make the green dream come true on a roof?
