Problem: How do I seal a new concrete floor?
Tough, durable and highly versatile, concrete is perhaps the defining building material of our age. But like all mineral based materials over time it is vulnerable to water ingress, freeze/ thaw cycle, abrasion stress, impact damage, salt erosion and chemical attack. So what is the best option for sealing a new concrete floor? In ideal curing conditions (20 deg C) you can apply acrylic sealers to new concrete after 28 days and epoxy coatings after 2 months...
Solution: How do I seal a new concrete floor?
1. Clear Solvent Acrylic Sealer (Kingfisher Ultimate Topcoat)
Solvent acrylic resin sealers are the professional's choice in superior concrete protection. One coat penetrates into the concrete substrate, where the resin sets and stabilises the absorbent surface. A second coat builds a durable protective non-yellowing finish. Eliminates dust and hardens the surface.
2. Water Based Acrylic Sealer (Kingfisher 1 Coat Dust Proofer)
A low odour surface binding sealer which seals the surface and suppresses dust in one easy application.
3. Epoxy Sealers & Coatings (Kingfisher Epoxy Floor Paint)
Water based 2-pack epoxy coatings offer superb protection to concrete surfaces, providing complete encapsulation of dust particles and unrivalled durability and depth of colour compared with conventional floor paints, which often flake and have limited abrasion resistance. Kingfisher Epoxy Floor Paint offers excellent abrasion resistance making it the perfect choice for high traffic areas where pallet trolleys and fork-lifts are operating.
Being water-based and non-taint, Kingfisher epoxy floor paint minimises disruption when applied in food prep areas, medical and animal environments with its signature low odour characteristics. Water based epoxy coatings are also resistant to a wide range of chemicals including hydraulic fluids, making them a natural choice for: garages, factories, warehouses, schools, healthcare facilities, veterinary surgeries, kennels, milking parlours, showrooms, workshops and many other areas.
