Hi Guys, I really hate adding to the already growing number of floor coating threads on here but I can't seem to find much carryover info that will be relevant here in Oz.
I'm very keen to see what options I have to coat my freshly poured slab (so fresh it hasn't actually been poured yet). I know that I'll need to let it cure for at least a month and during this month I'll probably park cars, trailers etc in it and being winter it'll get muddy.
Ideally I'd love to have a painted finish, preferably in the standard warehouse/workshop grey as I do like that look.
Use: The area being concreted is 9m x 12.6m (roughly 30' x 40') and makes up half of my shed. The area will be used mainly for a workshop for working on cars, tractors and general construction of items required on a hobby farm (building gates, repairing things etc). I''ll be welding in an area of the shed which I'm happy to have fire blankets to protect the painted surface. I'll also have an area setup for painting and prep work. As well as benches and storage areas, small althe, drill press etc.
The driveway is compacted rubble so cars driving in will bring in small rocks, dirt and mud however I plan to eventually move the daily drivers into another area in the future (but for now they'll take up space on the slab)
I've looked at 2 pack epoxy products over here like: http://www.cavco.com.au/ http://www.2packepoxy.com.au/ but would like to find out if anyone has used their products before?
An assistance is greatly appreciated.
Scott.
