cement floor paint or stain
The shop is all new, cement included. I believe now my husband is looking
at staining the floor, and we appreciate all the comments. Thank you, Jackie |

Concrete floors should be treated, to repel spilled liquids (if you plan to mop them up) and so that they do not give off concrete dust. The treatment is not stain (as used on wood) but a special paint for concrete. This requires a special chemical primer so the paint adheres reliably. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Thank you, Jackie A good friend owns a winery and sealed his cement flooring with an epoxy compound. He colored it as well. The surface can be slightly roughened during application for traction if desired, and is extremely durable and waterproof. Not sure how the costs to do something like this would compare with a more conventional treatment like painting. |
