Classify moisture correctly

Moisture is a central issue in the basement. Before coating, it must be checked whether the surface is dry enough and stable.

Moisture stains, efflorescence or odors are indications that should be clarified in advance. You can then safely plan the structure in the next step.

Short info: The moisture test is important before the construction, not the appearance.

Construction and protection

The layer structure depends on use, surface and desired resilience. Liability and protection against abrasion are important.

Depending on your needs, the surface can be made non-slip and easier to clean. This will classify usage more clearly in the next step.

Short info: The correct structure extends the service life and saves on later repairs.

Use and load

Storage, workshop, technical room or daily use: Each use places different demands on the surface.

Point loads and regular cleaning influence the choice of system. This determines how care and follow-up care should be planned.

Short info: Clearly define usage before specifying the system.

Care and follow-up care

Regular cleaning and short visual inspections prevent small damage from becoming larger.

With coordinated care, the surface remains durable and visually stable.

Short info: Care is the easiest way to protect the investment.

Practical knowledge: Prepare the basement floor to be resilient

Basement areas need clarity regarding moisture and usage before the system is chosen.

Checklist for clients

  • Document moisture patterns and abnormalities in advance.
  • Define use and load (warehouse, workshop, technology).
  • Plan substrate preparation as a fixed step.
  • Determine care and control rhythm after completion.

Common stumbling blocks in practice

  • Ignore moisture and only plan visually.
  • Underestimating loads and choosing systems that are too weak.
  • Only start care after visible damage.

Frequently asked questions

Can you coat a damp basement floor?

Only if the humidity is technically assessed and the structure is suitable for this.

How slip-resistant can a basement floor coating be?

Depending on the system, different slip resistances are possible.

How long does a basement floor coating last?

This depends on use and care - regular checks extend the service life.
