How do you fix a floor with a vapor transmission problem? There are lots of partial solutions, but no 'sure thing' short of pouring new concrete over a new vapor barrier. A 'Breathable' system is one common solution. This lets the moisture pass through. Depending upon your requirements, especially if you're just looking for an attractive surface, this may be all you need. There are a growing number of porous rugs, paints, and other surfaces on the market. 1, record 1, English, - breathable%20system

Système respirant ou non. Parfois, il peut être important d'utiliser une peinture perméable et respirante. Celle-ci permet un passage limité de la vapeur d'eau à travers le film de peinture, ce qui permet d'éviter les problèmes de condensation. Les systèmes étanches ne laissent pas passer la vapeur d'eau et sont entre autres utilisés pour les métaux ferreux. 3, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20respirant
