Moisture Vapor Control Barriers for Concrete Floors

Moisture Vapor Control Barriers for Concrete Floors


When concrete floors are located in garages or a sub-level like basements, they may be exposed to moisture. Dampness problems are among the most frequent problems encountered in commercial spaces and residences. Damp proofing is necessary when controlling moisture and by applying a moisture vapor barrier coating you are securing a damp proof concrete floor.
Moisture vapor barrier systems reduce the permanence of moisture vapor through concrete substrates which ultimately provides greater flexibility for new construction projects, minimizes facility down time, simplifies application and enables durable solutions.
