Barrier-1 is Economical Insurance Against Moisture

Failed FlooringThe Problem = Moisture Related Flooring Failures

Each year, North American commercial property owners spend an estimated $2.4 billion dollars on remediation of structures and interior furnishings as a result of moisture-related flooring failures due to these factors (click for more information on each):

Barrier-1 AdmixThe Solution =
Barrier-1 Concrete Admixture

The Barrier-1 family of products were developed by individuals in the floor covering industry to solve the problem of flooring failures due to moisture migration. Our product line features an admixture, which is integral to the concrete in new construction.

Take Proactive Action to Prevent Flooring Failures

Barrier-1 is the proactive approach to preventing moisture-related flooring failures. Our innovative products interact with the "free" water in the concrete slab and form compounds that shut down the capillary system and eliminate the source of concrete vapor emission.

Barrier-1 Admixture is backed by a zero percent failure rate, with an average cost that is 93 % lower than topical moisture treatments. It’s clear that we provide an economical solution to stop the overwhelming problem of moisture and vapor emission in concrete slabs.

The benefits to the owners and end users, in eliminating business disruptions for the replacement of failed flooring and the added expense of applying a costly topical moisture treatment, will far outweigh the small investment of adding Barrier-1 at the beginning of the project.

Anti-Microbial Biocide Additive

Barrier-1 is committed to quality and reliability in producing high performance admixtures for concrete. With increasing concerns for aseptic environments in the healthcare sector, Barrier-1 has formulated a biocide additive for our admixtures that will be integral to the concrete. This biocide inhibits microbial growth under damaged resilient sheet vinyl in hospital operating rooms and behind drywall walls in pre-cast and tilt-wall applications.
