Why ES101’s coverage advantage makes it the smarter, more economical DPM choice.
In today’s flooring market, performance alone is no longer enough. Specifiers and contractors are under increasing pressure to deliver projects faster, more efficiently and at lower overall cost –without compromising on quality or compliance. ES101 TREMBlock DPM GT has been developed with these demands firmly in mind, setting a new benchmark for coverage, efficiency, and value in epoxy surface-applied damp proof membranes.
With coverage of up to 33m² per 10kg unit and a coverage improvement of around 30% compared to many traditional epoxy DPMs, ES101 delivers tangible benefits from specification through to installation on site.
Coverage is one of the most important –and often underestimated factors when assessing the true cost of a surface DPM. While many conventional epoxy DPMs typically achieve coverage in the region of 20–24m² per 10kg unit, ES101 extends this to up to 33m², depending on substrate condition.
This uplift in coverage directly reduces the amount of material required to complete a project. Fewer units purchased means lower material spend, reduced transport costs and fewer pallets delivered to site. Over large floor areas, this difference quickly becomes significant, allowing ES101 to deliver a noticeably lower cost per installed square metre.
The benefits of higher coverage extend well beyond material cost alone. By requiring fewer kits overall, ES101 helps to streamline site operations:
For contractors working to tight programmes, these efficiencies can translate into faster application rates and improved productivity across the working day.
ES101 has been engineered with a low-viscosity formulation that allows the material to spread easily and evenly across the substrate. This improved workability helps applicators achieve consistent coverage with minimal effort, even across larger areas.
The system is designed for single-coat application and can be installed quickly, helping to keep flooring programmes on track and reducing delays between trades. As a solvent-free epoxy, ES101 also supports safer working practices and contributes to improved indoor air quality during installation.
When assessed purely on unit price, different DPMs can appear similar. However, when coverage, labour efficiency and site logistics are taken into account, the advantage of ES101 becomes clear. Requiring fewer units, less handling and less application time, ES101 helps to reduce the total installed cost of the flooring system.
