Planning a moisture barrier for an older slab in Winter Park
Winter Park
1Assessment
Older slabs in Winter Park — particularly those from the 1960s–1980s — were often poured without vapor barriers. If a previous coating has failed (bubbled or peeled), moisture vapor is a likely cause. A moisture vapor emission test is essential before recommending any system.
2Options
If moisture vapor readings are elevated, a two-part epoxy vapor barrier is applied before the topcoat system. The barrier addresses the vapor emission at the slab level. The decorative topcoat (polyaspartic flake, metallic, or solid color) is applied over the cured barrier.
3Confirm before work begins
Confirm moisture vapor test results, whether a barrier is needed, the full system specification, return-to-use timing, and written warranty terms before work begins.
