Moisture and Air Quality

  • Fact: Concrete slabs are known Culprits for indoor air quality problems.
  • Standard concrete slabs are in contact with the ground. As a result, moisture wicks through the concrete and contributes to the growth of mould and mildew under flooring overlays and damages expensive architectural flooring finishes, floor tiles or carpets.
  • Keeping the top and bottom of the concrete floor slab dry reduces these problems and reduces excessive moisture in a building, which has been associated with adverse health effects, particularly asthma and respiratory diseases.
