Garage floor sealers - any recommendations?

[brentstevens]

Any one out there have experience of sealing a new concrete garage floor? Fed up with the white concrete dust.
Looking for any brand recommendations.

I used Wickes sealer and concrete floor paint. It sets a nice grey. I thought it would be rbbush but 12 months on its still great and looks like new!

I just used garage floor paint from screwfix (tons cheaper than b&q): www.screwfix.com if you are a screwfix virgin.

watered it down with some thinner for easier spreading with a roller.

didn't use sealant.

that was 4 years ago, and it's still as clean and smooth as it was when I did it.

Makes a massive difference, not just to dust, but to dryness of garage and stuff. go for it. I'd recommend roller application and getting one of those stick extensions so you can do it standing up.

Just give it a damn good brushing before you start putting the paint down to get as much of the dust out as you can.

I've just done my garage with International floor paint. Seems to have done a very good job, but probably not one of the cheapest paint options.

Thanks guys - info gratefully received. Pistonheads is a great website.

Simon - you still thinking of storing your car later this year? If so, let me know the dates as I have a large garage (4 car). My Tuscan plus wife's Mini Cooper live in there - my daily commuter car tends to live outside because I normally can't be bothered to put it away!!
My son's Westfield sometimes comes down from Richmond for the winter but could still fit in your car if you are interested.
Down in very rural Kent so not too far away from Harrow.

i find it easier to get a gallon of PVA from B&Q and mix it in a bucket then brush it onto the floor mixed 50/50 with water.

let it go off for 24 hours and then paint with a suitable floor paint (preferably 2 pack)
