We would like to manage without tiles in our utility room and, if possible, seal the screed directly. I did some reading and am now confused, as there apparently are very different approaches and many people also advise against it. In my naive world, it would be enough to prime the screed and then paint it twice with concrete paint, which also contains a sealant. Now you also read that the screed must be sanded multiple times and that the use of epoxy resin is recommended. This, in turn, would be very expensive and should preferably be done only by a professional. Are there any further experiences on this from your side? Thank you very much.
