ES101 - Every m² and £ Counts: The Smarter Choice in DPMs

Abbie Bradshaw / 13 November 2025

Across the construction industry, budgets are tightening while project timelines grow shorter. Rising material costs and labour shortages as well as stricter building regulations are creating new challenges for everyone form contactors to specifiers.

Many projects still lose time and money because of product choices that make the construction process slower with products that require long application and curing times. With smarter and better performing products, a measurable difference can be achieved, drastically improving on application coverage, speed of installation as well as delivering long term value.

Project Budgets

Superior products with higher coverage and better yield rates can reduce both material usage and application time. That means less waste, fewer deliveries, and lower overall labour costs creating savings line without sacrificing quality or performance.

Time Sensitivity

Weather disruptions, delayed deliveries, or coordination issues can easily derail schedules. But often, product selection itself contributes to slow progress; especially when systems are complex, require multiple stages, or demand long drying or curing times.

Choosing faster application products helps to keep projects on track. Products designed for efficient installation reduce downtime and labour dependency, keeping crews productive even when conditions are unpredictable.

Where Can Tremco Flooring Help?

Superior Coverage = Cost Efficiency

  • ES101 provides greater coverage per m squared making it an ideal choice for modern construction sites that want to maximise the most out of their products. It is a simple concept: greater coverage = less product needed, saving costs.

Time-Saving on Site

  • With its advanced single-coat formulation, ES101 streamlines the installation process, saving valuable time on site. It can be applied quickly and efficiently, curing faster than traditional multi-coat systems. This enables flooring contractors to move swiftly to the next phase of work, minimising downtime and ensuring deadlines are met without sacrificing quality or performance.

Sustainability & Compliance

  • ES101 is completely solvent-free and BPA-free, making it safer for applicators, end-users, and the environment. Its non-toxic composition aligns with modern site regulations and sustainability standards, while reducing odours and improving working conditions.

Long-Term Value

  • ES101's unique technology provides greater structural integrity, superior water vapour resistance, and a longer-lasting moisture barrier than ever before. It’s complex particle structure forces moisture vapour to travel a longer, more obstructed path, offering unmatched protection and long-term durability.

In a market where every m² and £ counts, ES101 stands out as the smarter choice. Combining high coverage, rapid installation, sustainability, and proven long-term protection, it’s a DPM designed for the demands of modern construction.
