I'm in a rented new-build house and the garage concrete floor is constantly dusty.

I'm thinking of putting down a PVA / water mix, will this last a year without any paint if car is just driven in once or twice a week? Not keen to paint it because of fumes, hassle and cost (might leave house in 6-18 months).

Also, does the PVA mix just look grey on the concrete when dried?

just buy 20 quids worth of emulsion water it down and roller it on. Cheapest/ best way. Honestly.

Our house is a new build and we had the dust problem in the garage.

I use the garage for weight lifting too, so it was a real issue for me.

We painted it with floor sealant a year or two back and it has been fine since. We have some paint to put down to finish it off and make it look nice but haven't got around to it, however it's stayed pretty much dust free with just the sealant.
