Congrats for choosing concrete floor.

You basically have 4 options to seal your floor, I'll put it layman.

1 is to seal with quicseal 104, polished finishing.

2 is to seal with quicseal 107, matt finishing.

3 is to seal with epoxy, whatever desired colour and finshing.

4 is to seal and stain with desired colour.

Do a quick search on each of these to weigh their pros and cons.

Personally, I would choose epoxy(transparent matt) for industrial and high traffic conditions.

Experienced contractor would lay concrete and let it dry for at least 7 days, buff and apply epoxy on cleaned concrete.

If below 7 days, water may condense between floor and epoxy, which will allow epoxy to peel like your face mask.

Or quicseal 104 for your preferred smooth polished surface.

Ask your contractor for the price differences for all of the above too.

Have fun!
