Dust proof concrete floor

Zimmerframe

There are a couple of threads similar, but rather than bumping, I'll start a new one.

Have a shiny new shed approx 20m x 10m with a smooth concrete floor poured last summer. Not used for anything special only as a workshop and sometimes to put the car in.

What's the best product to put on the floor to keep dust down ?

Cheers m8.
I mean actual name of product, i.e whats good value stuff, taken into account the usage and size of shed.

you can seal it but it would end up slippery.

get the proper paint that has grit in it or the system you put the grit on top

If I was doing mine again I'd go for a non-slip epoxy finish. Floorpaint just doesn't seem to hold up to any kind of usage , mine has chipped off and looks crap.

Something like a 918 Primer would do the job if you wanted a quick easy way .

It would also be a good base for floor paint if you painted it down the line.

It should really be used before painting a floor anyway .

If the floor has a very smooth powerfloated finish then a standard floor paint may not adhere very well. I know that when I went to look for a floor paint for a very small concrete floor I was told that a pan finish was the best surface for floor paint. Best to seek advice from a floor paint manufacturer or supplier. I used a product from Tor Coatings:

Their technical department were good to deal with.
