Need to control moisture under commercial floor coverings?

New concrete floors in fast-track retail, education, and hospitality projects require Relative Humidity (RH) of concrete to be under 75% RH, or have a guaranteed moisture mitigation solution prior to installing floor preparations, and adhesives to bond direct-stick floor coverings If direct-stick floor coverings are installed to new concrete floors without moisture protection, the adhesives can dissolve and cause bubbling and delamination of floor coverings. Our moisture control solutions help fast-track construction projects avoid risks, ensuring successful floor coverings installation.

Concrete floor slabs dry very slowly

In reality, concrete floors only naturally dry out at a rate of 1 MONTH per 25mm depth of concrete.

This is not from the time the concrete was poured, but from when the structure is closed-in from elements

If direct-stick floor coverings are applied without moisture protection, the adhesives can dissolve, or rising moisture can cause bubbling and delamination.

Choose MARKHAM’s FLOOR-TECT® system for protection from the outset. And no need to re-apply when changing flooring later. Full AS1884:2021 compliant version available where required.

Moisture control under direct-stick flooring

AQURON 2000 immobilises moisture within concrete, and has been successfully used in Australiasia since 1990’s to prevent moisture issues under floor coverings.

Choose AQURON 2000 to provide “curing assistance” and concrete moisture from the time the concrete as poured.

As AQURON 2000 is inside the concrete there is no need to re-apply when changing floorcoverings in years to come.

MARKHAM also have the FLOOR-TECT® System combining AQURON 2000 and FLOOREVERDRI primer to provide a fully AS1884:2021 compliant system where required.
