If it s solid wood you need a surface dpm.
Concrete floor liquid dpm.
But it is an effective way to do it.
Rfc liquid damp proof membrane dpm is a professional 2 component applied surface primer.
When can a dpm be installed.
The epoxy dpm comes as a two component system.
A liquid applied dpm damp proof membrane is a simple solution and an excellent way to damp proof a concrete floor.
Liquid epoxy dpm for existing concrete floors a liquid epoxy damp proof membrane dpm is often used as a remedial solution where an existing dpm has failed or was never installed.
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.
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.
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.
If you have a engineered wood floor and your new slab is dry below 75 rh then technically you don t need one.
To be honest it s worth having some sort of moisture suppressant put down just to make sure.
It is low odour solvent free and most importantly deals with constant low levels of moisture in concrete floors.
It might seem a bit unusual.
1200 gauge dpms should be used when a floor is direct to the ground.
Drybase is easy to apply has excellent adhesion properties and is fast drying.
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.
This barrier is intended to stop moisture passing from one to the other.
A decent fitter will test the slab for you before fitting anyway.
Drybase products have the advantage of being extremely easy to apply.
You are essentially painting a concrete floor after all.
