WHY DO FLOORS FAIL? Until it happens, most designers, contractors and owners don t lose sleep over flooring failure. When it does, the results are costly, embarrassing and disruptive to operations. Understanding floor failures and the quickest, most cost-effective way to avoid them are the foundations upon which ENDURIT was built. With over 25 years of experience in the flooring and moisture mitigation industries, we have learned that today s flooring failures are the result of four primary issues that occur on almost every construction project. Flooring Composition The decrease of vinyl asbestos tile (VAT) installations and increase in less permeable flooring has led to entrapped moisture under these new types of materials. VOC Reduction Code required reductions in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have resulted in flooring adhesives that are not as tolerant to decomposition by high ph or alkaline slab conditions. High Moisture Fast track construction, missing or unreinforced under slab vapor retarders, light weight concrete and troweling and finishing methods can all contribute to high moisture content in new slabs that can cause flooring blisters and adhesion loss. Curing Compounds Curing compounds used to retard the drying of concrete to ensure the concrete s physical properties can cause flooring delamination and de-bonding if not used properly. Every designer or building owner who has experienced flooring failure for any of these reasons knows that effective moisture vapor control (MVC) solutions are as critical to a building s long-term performance as roofing and waterproofing. ENDURIT MVC products offer a unique blend of properties and performance that provide building owners, contractors and designers with fast-track, cost effective solutions to prevent flooring failures. ENDURIT MVC products are: A Vapor Barrier Highly Chemical Resistant Coating Easy to Apply Fast Curing Low VOC A Good Base Coat for Adhesives, Self-Levelers and Top Coats A Concrete Densifier A Guaranteed Defense Against Flooring Failures ENDURIT can be used on new and existing concrete slabs in all types of flooring applications including: Hospitals and Schools Retail, Entertainment and Casinos Office Buildings Hangars and Warehouses Industrial Facilities Running Tracks Field Houses and Sport Facilites Manufacturing Plants
ENDURIT should be used where: Existing concrete slabs have missing or unreinforced under slab vapor barriers New concrete slabs with high moisture content will receive resilient floor coverings Fast track construction is required and new concrete is still green Above grade, light weight, high-moisture content concrete is used Previous flooring failures have already occurred Flooring failure is not an option All ENDURIT Moisture Vapor Control (MVC) products are manufactured in the US in an ISO 9000 certified facility and are low VOC for LEED and sustainable design projects.
