Moisture-Vapor Barrier Coatings

Moisture-Vapor Barrier Coatings

Protect flooring investments from slab moisture before it causes a failure

Slab moisture is one of the most common — and most avoidable — causes of coating and flooring failure. A moisture-vapor barrier coating seals excess moisture vapor transmission from the slab before it can delaminate an epoxy system or damage flooring installed above it, particularly relevant for El Paso's expansive-soil, slab-on-grade housing stock.

What's Included

  • Moisture testing to quantify vapor transmission before coating
  • Epoxy-based vapor-barrier primer systems rated for high-moisture slabs
  • Application prior to flooring installation or as part of a coating system
  • Documentation of pre- and post-treatment moisture readings
  • Suited to new construction and existing slab remediation

Who This Is For

  • New-construction builders and GCs needing moisture mitigation before flooring install
  • Homeowners with a history of flooring failure over a slab-on-grade foundation
  • Anyone coating a slab where moisture testing indicates elevated vapor transmission

Frequently Asked Questions

The right system depends on your measured vapor transmission rate — some coatings handle moderate moisture, while high-transmission slabs need a higher-rated epoxy vapor-barrier system. We test first, then recommend a system rated for your actual conditions.
