This is a quick question which I’m sure will be swiftly answered by anyone who is not as clueless as I am.
The scenario is thus: My washing machine has saturated the concrete floor in my kitchen and rotted away a floorboard that was next to the concrete. I have removed the washer and I’m thoroughly drying the area. My intention is to put a waterproof coating on the concrete then replace the floorboard. The chap at B&Q agreed and directed me to a hefty can of Thompson’s One Coat Water Seal Ultra to use on the concrete floor.
However, on getting it home and reading the instructions I found it said:
“FOR EXTERIOR USE ONLY. Do not use on ponds, roofs, garden retaining walls, below ground and damp proof membranes or where positive water pressure in likely.”
So my question is basically: does this matter? I’m just trying to stop water from kitchen splashes or future washing machine disasters wreaking my kitchen? Maybe I should be using something else or nothing at all.
I’m leaning towards using it, but I could do with some reassurance.
