I need to do something on the floor in the cellar.
It’s pretty dry as cellars in Victorian houses go, but is of course a bit damp. I put some vinyl roll down on the concrete floor about 3 years ago. This wasn’t an ideal solution since mold has grown underneath.
I’m not sure what to do next. I’ve thought about painting, perhaps with epoxy floor paint, but all the ones I’ve looked at say the floor needs to be dry before painting – and this floor’s always going to be a bit damp to the touch. Will this matter? If I do paint, any tips on preparation or choice of paint?
Have also considered rubber grid matting (like this) since that would let the floor breath – but that’s a bit expensive.
I’d like to hear any other ideas.
