Moisture Mitigation Floors
Moisture vapor transmission, or MVT, is becoming an increasingly expensive challenge for commercial and industrial building designers, contractors, and owners. Sherwin-Williams offers a wide range of moisture mitigation options, including systems where the moisture mitigation is built in.
However, not all industrial concrete floor coatings offer the protection you need against moisture vapor related damage.
What Is Moisture Mitigation Flooring?
Moisture mitigation flooring is a specialized flooring system or coating designed to block or significantly reduce the passage of moisture vapor from a concrete slab to the floor’s surface. By creating a protective barrier, it prevents the damage that can occur when high moisture vapor transmission (MVT) levels contribute to blistering of coatings, delaminate or lose adhesion. These systems are typically installed before the final flooring layer, ensuring a stable, long-lasting foundation that supports both performance and aesthetics. Moisture mitigation flooring is essential in environments where moisture problems are common, protecting your investment and minimizing costly repairs or downtime.
Moisture mitigation systems form a hidden foundation beneath high‑performance epoxy flooring. The three‑layer build shown here works as an integrated barrier, stabilizing the substrate and managing moisture before any finished floor is applied. Each layer contributes to long‑term durability, helping the final flooring system perform as designed.
Features and Benefits of Moisture Mitigation Flooring
One of our highly experienced local representatives can evaluate your facility’s concrete floor for moisture vapor transmission and relative humidity. These test results will determine which of our MVT mitigation industrial flooring systems will work best for you and your budget. Benefits of our moisture mitigation flooring include:
