Stop Moisture Before It Damages Your Self Leveling Concrete

EPOXY VAPOR BARRIER INSTALLATION

Excess moisture in concrete is one of the most common causes of self leveling concrete failures. That’s why Aston Stuart installs professional grade epoxy vapor barrier systems designed to block excessive moisture transmission through concrete slabs. By controlling vapor emissions at the source, we help prevent flooring failures, delamination, and surface imperfections, ensuring a smooth, durable, and long lasting self leveling concrete system that performs for years to come.

WHY VAPOR BARRIERS MATTER

Concrete naturally emits moisture, even months after being poured. Without a vapor barrier, that moisture can cause flooring adhesives to fail, coatings to blister, or leveling compounds to delaminate. Installing a high performance vapor barrier like Laticrete Vapor Ban ER , Laticrete Vapor Ban E, or Laticrete Vapor Ban Primer W, ensures long term durability and warranty protection for your floor system.

Installing a vapor barrier helps:

  • Prevents delamination and bubbling

  • Protects against mold and mildew

  • Ensures manufacturer warranties remain valid

  • Reduces moisture related callbacks or repairs

OUR PROVEN VAPOR BARRER INSTALLATION PROCESS

self leveling concrete contractors in Miami fl

Every successful flooring system starts with a dry, stable foundation. Our vapor barrier installations are performed using professional grade equipment and Laticrete moisture mitigation systems to ensure long term protection.

Each project is carefully evaluated and monitored for moisture control, film thickness, and adhesion — so you can move forward with confidence knowing your slab is properly sealed and ready for self leveling concrete or flooring installation.

Why it matters:

  • Prevents moisture related flooring failures

  • Extends the life of your finished floors

  • Ensures lasting performance and warranty compliance

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT VAPOR BARRIERS

  • A vapor barrier blocks moisture from traveling up through the concrete slab, preventing flooring failures, adhesive breakdown, and mold growth. It ensures your floor stays dry, stable, and long lasting.

  • Not every slab requires one, but any area with high humidity, ground moisture, or previous flooring issues can benefit. A moisture test helps determine if a vapor barrier is necessary before installation.

  • Most Laticrete Vapor Ban systems cure within 12 to 24 hours, depending on site conditions such as temperature, humidity, and slab porosity. However, Laticrete Vapor Ban ER cures within 3 to 4 hours after installation. After curing, the surface is ready for self leveling.

  • Yes — once the vapor barrier has fully cured and passed inspection, you can install approved self leveling compounds, coatings, or finished flooring systems directly over it.

  • A vapor barrier is a high performance epoxy system designed to block moisture vapor emission, while a sealer only reduces it. Barriers meet ASTM F3010 standards for long term moisture protection.

  • Pricing varies by project size and slab condition, but professional vapor barrier installation in Florida typically starts around $1,500 and up. For an exact estimate, contact Aston Stuart for a site evaluation.
