What Is Better Than Aquabar B?


I'm curious as to if there is anything that is considered even "better" than Aquabar B? The install is in a high moisture area and we're jumping through A LOT of hoops to hedge our bet against issues down the road.

From everything that I'm reading -- Aquabar B is the best, but is there anything better that I may have overlooked?

Thanks,
Pete

Why not seal it first. I have used Uzin PE 414 turbo on concrete but I am pretty sure it will work on porous substrates as well. Not 100% sure though. Check with manufacturer first.

Yeah, I know Fortifiber makes a few products but it looks like their Aquabar B is about the best made by them... I thought maybe there was something out there that could hedge the bet a little more... looks like it'll be Aquabar B for the application.

Thanks,
Pete
