Moisture Control

Managing moisture in subfloors is an important part of any successful flooring installation. Rising damp, ground moisture and residual construction moisture can affect flooring adhesives, levelling and smoothing compounds, and the finished floor covering. Effective subfloor moisture control helps protect flooring installations, making it essential to select the correct damp proof membrane (DPM) or moisture vapour suppressant for the substrate and installation requirements.

Kelmore’s moisture control range includes liquid damp proof membranes (DPMs) and a moisture vapour suppressant to help manage moisture in suitable subfloors before installing floor finishes.

Our two-part epoxy liquid damp proof membranes, One Coat DPM Fast and One Coat DPM Trade, are designed to control residual moisture and protect against rising damp, all in a single coat application. For projects where a moisture vapour suppressant is required, PrimeMore MVS provides a ready-to-use, quick drying solution for cementitious and concrete backgrounds where a structural damp proof membrane is present. When confronted by moisture in subfloors, these products offer reliable solutions and can keep projects on schedule.
