Now that I have a brand new concrete floor in a 30X48 building that will eventually become a shop, my wife is bugging me to put some kind of sealer on the floor.
Is this a good idea, or not? I've heard arguments both ways.
One argument I heard against that I hadn't heard before was when I did an insurance inspection in an automotive machine shop several weeks ago. The owner does limited welding, mostly repairing engine blocks and cylinder heads, plus building up crankshaft journals to re-machine to the proper size. His argument against anything but a bare concrete floor was, with any kind of paint or sealer on the floor, if welding slag hits it the hot slag burns a hole in the sealer and destroys both the function and appearance of the sealer.
I hadn't heard that before, but it makes sense. Particularly since any shop I have will also have welding done in it sooner or later.
Any pro or con arguments about sealing or painting the floor?
