I am going to lay down vinyl in laundry room. It’s a concrete slab poured last summer. Should I seal the concrete first? If so, are all sealers created equal or do you recommend a specific type/brand?
Thanks,
Steve

Many concrete sealers have had to be sanded off/ removed from concrete surfaces for the adhesive(s) being used (thinset...etc). Check out the adhesive and if it is compatible with ANY type of sealer.
Steve,
Save your money, no need to seal in an indoor situation and it may cause bonding problems for the vinyl adhesive.

Thanks for the responses.
