Professional Subfloor Underlayments & Concrete Moisture Vapor Barriers

Eliminate the number one cause of post-installation flooring failures with the premium subfloor preparation and moisture mitigation collection at FM Floors Supplies. No matter how high-end the hardwood, engineered planks, tile, or luxury vinyl tile (LVT) may be, a finished floor is only as stable as the substrate beneath it.

Unchecked concrete vapor emissions, subfloor deflection, and uneven slabs inevitably lead to cupping, warping, adhesive failure, and costly structural callbacks. As the premier contractor pro shop and showroom, we supply high-performance self-leveling underlayments, rapid-setting patching compounds, structural primers, and roll-on liquid moisture barriers engineered to handle extreme relative humidity (RH) levels.

We proudly carry industry-leading, field-tested systems from world-class manufacturers—including Sika and Custom Building Products (a proud part of the Quikrete family)—giving your installation crews the technical insurance required to back up your installation warranties.

High-Performance Moisture Control & Leveling Technologies

Our curated inventory targets the most demanding commercial and residential renovation site conditions:

• Sika MB & Sika Primer Liquid Moisture Vapor Barriers: Advanced, two-component epoxy moisture barriers and primers that block residual subfloor moisture up to 100% RH. These rapid-curing formulas penetrate deeply to consolidate weak concrete slabs, encapsulate old adhesive residue, and create an impermeable, waterproof barrier before floor laying begins.

• SikaLevel® Self-Leveling Underlayments: High-flow, cementitious self-leveling compounds designed to effortlessly smooth out uneven concrete slabs and wood subfloors. Perfect for flattening large open layouts or prepping substrates prior to installing engineered hardwood, LVT, or radiant heating configurations.

• Custom Building Products CustomLevel® Underlayments: Premium, fast-setting, polymer-modified self-levelers that offer exceptional fluid flow and smooth surface profile matching. Engineered to handle varying thicknesses without shrinking or cracking.

• Rapid-Setting Patching & Skim-Coating Compounds (Custom/Quikrete Patches): Moisture-resistant, fast-drying ramping and skim-coating compounds used to fill deep holes, structural pits, and subfloor cracks, ensuring a smooth transition across seams and joints.

Why Preparation is the Key for a Perfect Job

Preparation is the key for a perfect job. True flooring vituosos know that you never roll out an underlayment or click together a bundle of premium flooring until the subfloor is clean, flat, dry, and sound. Our premium Sika and Custom/Quikrete moisture barriers and leveling systems are cross-compatible with advanced primers and professional flooring adhesives, preventing chemical rejection, eliminating bubbling, and stopping slab alkalinity from dissolving your floor assembly from the bottom up.
