Moisture Vapor Control Barriers for Concrete Floors

henry gerstel • January 21, 2020

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.

Xtreme Polishing Systems supplies excellent moisture blocking products that’s guaranteed to reduce labor costs and save you money:

  • Vapor Reduction Membrane Kit – is a 100% solids, 2-part epoxy coating specifically designed for controlling the moisture vapor emission rate from new or existing slab on grade construction and elevated slabs. It provides excellent resistance to abrasion and chemical resistance. Meets all kinds of requirements such as durability, performance as well as aesthetics.
  • Epoxy Moisture Vapor Barrier – is a 100% solid, two component epoxy coating, designed for controlling the moisture vapor emission rate on deteriorated or new floors. This product has requirements for vapor permanence when applied at a thickness of 18 mils. The coating will control moisture vapor emission rates up to 25 lb. /24 hr. /1000 square feet, providing excellent chemical and abrasion resistance.
  • Vapor Reduction High Definition – is 100% solid, two component epoxy coating, designed for controlling the moisture vapor emission rate on deteriorated or new floors. This coating provides excellent abrasion and chemical resistance.
