Sure you're on the right forum ... you're not supposed to be helpful and in formative on here!

They do indeed look like a good company, I prefer dealing with small outfits, they're always more willing to help and answer questions.

Their CONSEAL TSF UTILITY looks pretty good.  I'm going to need to replace my vinyl soon so I'll keep them in mind.

(assuming it's the town to which you are referring).

It's a very well known town round these parts.

The company has been bought out and changed its name so many times over the years I ain't got a clue what its called, I just go there and buy what I need, been using'm for 30yrs plus.

Bloody hell man try to do your best look for a bill or get in your motor and find the company name not just stick your
head in the sand saying I know where they are but don't know what they're called.

The self leveling stuff looks really good video on this page ... http://www.reactiveresins.com/conseal-sl.html  The "hammer test" at the end is most impressive.

My living room floor has a self leveling screed on it but it's made by a company, local again, called Ardex.

I used screed just like that to flatten our lean-to floor.  Fantastic stuff to work with.

Try using it on a planked floor with poor joints ... you don't have much left by the time it sets!

why not just stick with the concrete floor ?   (unless it's buggered)


to me putting anything on top of it just makes one more thing that needs maintenance, or cleaning, or you to look after it


dropped an engine on your concrete floor?  no one cares

split dirty old engine oil on your concrete floor ?  toss some cardboard on top of it and go for a cup of tea

come home drunk, wife's kicked you out the house, slept on the garage floor and shat yourself in the night ?  hose it off and no-one will know!

I did my garage floor a couple or 3 years ago with epoxy resin 2 pack floor paint. Did 2 coats and it is totally bio and everything else proof. I still have a chunk of it out the roller tray in a jar of bio and it's as good as ever.
I got 2 x 2.5L off ebay, nothing expensive, and that did 2 good coats on a single garage. Whatever you use, prep the floor well.
