Flooring contractors will be among the first to see Saint-Gobain Weber’s new products and relaunched flooring range at this year’s Flooring Show.
The latest product to join Weber’s flooring range is weberfloor MVS, a moisture vapour suppressant that can be applied to a substrate that is up to 95% relative humidity (RH) to save contractors valuable time per project.
Using a MVS helps to reduce time on site by decreasing drying times before a final floor finish can be applied. Traditional cement and sand screed mix of up to 50mm could take more than a month to dry, before being ready to receive a moisture sensitive floor finish such as vinyl, but by using weberfloor MVS, contractors can treat a substrate with up to 95% RH as if it was 75% RH.
The weberfloor MVS completes Weber’s moisture control offering alongside weberfloor DPM, an epoxy-based damp proof membrane, capable of one coat application and suppressing the passage of residual construction moisture up to 98% RH when full coverage is achieved.
Weber will also be relaunching its weberfloor commercial screeds with reduced covering times. With the updated range, substrates could be covered in as little as six hours.
Adam Schreiber, flooring product manager at Saint-Gobain Weber, said: “We’ve been working with flooring contractors to develop our new products and make updates to existing products to ensure we’re manufacturing flooring systems that make application as quick and easy as possible, even on the trickier projects.
“At the Flooring Show, we’ll be on hand to talk to flooring specialists about any technical queries and take them through the different products within the weberfloor system.”
Weber’s flooring range consists of industrial and commercial floor screeds and smoothing compounds. It includes systems for renovation, fibre-reinforced screeds for underfloor heating, fine texture smoothing solutions for high-quality finishes and wearing surfaces for warehouses with forklift traffic. Ancillary products such as dB matting, for sound reduction and improved acoustics, are also available.
Visit Weber at the Flooring Show on stand B63 to find out more about the new flooring range.
