Waterproofing Membrane Means You Don't Have To Replace Concrete

Consider an old floor which is showing signs of damp, which is often unsightly and can lead to other problems i.e. damage to floor coverings. One option is to literally dig out the concrete, put down polythene membranes and lay new concrete. The problems associated with this method are numerous; logistic, financial and disruption.

Epoxy damp proof membranes are a simple solution to this problem. A damp proof membrane primer is literally a damp tolerant floor paint with a high cross link density. This means that a damp floor will not affect the product during curing but also once cured the paint is so dense that it lets very little moisture through it.

Some DPM's available and used

Treadfast ES 3000

Treadfast ES 3000 is a two part epoxy developed specifically for suppressing residual

moisture on concrete and sand/cement subfloors and provides a surface damp proof membrane

prior to overlaying with other floor screeds, floor paint, carpet, vinyl and other resilient floor coverings.
