How Moisture Affects Floor Coatings
Moisture rising through a slab is the leading cause of coating failure on below-grade and poorly protected floors. Test first, mitigate second, coat third.
Key points
- Vapor drive from the substrate
- Below-grade slabs are common culprits
- Moisture-mitigating primers solve most cases
