Moisture-Mitigation Flooring in Wilmington, NC
When the slab pushes moisture from below, a standard coating fails. Moisture-mitigation systems seal the substrate first so the finish coats can perform.
Best fit for
- Basements and below-grade slabs
- Slabs without proper vapor barriers
- Floors that failed a previous coating from moisture
Benefits
- Blocks moisture vapor from damaging the coating
- Enables coatings on otherwise problematic slabs
- Reduces the risk of blistering and delamination
Finish options
- Solid color
- Decorative flake blends
- Metallic finishes
- Quartz broadcast
- High-gloss or satin topcoat
- Anti-slip additives
Preparation
- On-site evaluation of the concrete surface, moisture, and existing coatings
- Diamond grinding to open the concrete profile and remove contamination
- Crack, spall, and pit repair using compatible patching compounds
- Vacuum and cleaning before any primer or base coat goes down
Installation
- Primer or base coat matched to the substrate and system
- Body coat application to build thickness and color
- Decorative element broadcast where applicable (flake, quartz, metallic effect)
- Protective topcoat for chemical, UV, and abrasion resistance
Maintenance
