If it s solid wood you need a surface dpm.
Concrete floor liquid dpm.
This barrier is intended to stop moisture passing from one to the other.
It is low odour solvent free and most importantly deals with constant low levels of moisture in concrete floors.
The drybase range of liquid applied coatings including drybase ecs epoxy floor coatings and drybase liquid applied dpm can be applied directly to damp floors to create a damp proof barrier without raising the floor level.
A decent fitter will test the slab for you before fitting anyway.
A liquid applied dpm damp proof membrane is a simple solution and an excellent way to damp proof a concrete floor.
You should use them to protect all final floor finishes.
1200 gauge dpms should be used when a floor is direct to the ground.
The epoxy dpm comes as a two component system.
But it is an effective way to do it.
If you have a engineered wood floor and your new slab is dry below 75 rh then technically you don t need one.
Drybase liquid applied dpm is a liquid applied damp proof membrane providing a barrier to damp and ground gases such as radon carbon dioxide and methane.
Weberfloor dpm is an effective liquid damp proof membrane for oversealing cementitious surfaces which contain high levels of residual moisture and permits early overlaying with vinyl carpets and resin based products without the conventional drying out period being observed for concrete bases.
It has excellent adhesion to damp cementitious surfaces and once dried provides a dry barrier against moisture below.
Drybase products have the advantage of being extremely easy to apply.
A dpm damp proof membrane is a plastic sheet membrane that sits between a concrete slab or screed and acts as a barrier to stop moisture and contaminants entering a property from the ground.
Drybase is easy to apply has excellent adhesion properties and is fast drying.
To be honest it s worth having some sort of moisture suppressant put down just to make sure.
It s primarily designed for brushing onto concrete floors and fine concrete screeds.
A damp proof membrane dpm is used to create a barrier between a concrete or screed subfloor and the floor covering that is laid on top such as wood ceramic or quartz tiles laminate or carpet.
It might seem a bit unusual.
When can a dpm be installed.
