Sealing New Laid Concrete Floor

[PlacidCasual]

Hi Peeps

I'm in the process of building a workshop, and have recently laid a 24m² concrete base. I've been looking around for suitable products but have found quite mixed reviews.

Can anyone recommend a solution for sealing and painting a concrete floor for a woodworking workshop?

how deep was the concrete?
I would leave it a few months to fully dry/cure then liberally coat the floor with bog standard floor paint

PVA. Cheap enough from BnQ.
Dilute it as per instructions, paint it on. Leave to dry.
Then you can paint the floor.

100mm sub base and 200mm concrete.

How was it finished? If it was to any decent standard (brushed/floated?)then don't bother with anything else

Easi-float by an experienced ground works guy, very level pretty smooth. I was thinking of painting it in the future. But maybe a few months away.

1mm a day plus more if floated it seals the top.
