Moisture Tolerant

Moisture can be a problematic flooring factor for several reasons and unless the substrate, application process and the future use of the site are properly analysed it can easily bring on an early floor failure.

Moisture vapour transmission (MVT) through the concrete substrate is a prime cause of blistering, softening, delamination and disbondment. Flowcrete South Africa’s extensive flooring experience and comprehensive flooring range means that it can recommend and supply a moisture vapour control coating for any situation.

It’s not just water below the finish that can be a concern, as liquid, spills, intensive cleaning and flood conditions can all damage a floor coating. Hardwearing, waterproof polymer surfaces can withstand heavy and continuous exposure to liquids - retaining a functional, colourful and hygienic surface for an extended period of time despite these factors.
