    Cement shower floors / acid washed
    We have a large walk in shower. I'd like to have a cement floor with an acid washed stain. A sloped shower pan will be installed underneath. Can anyone recommend the best type of sealer to use for this type of floor in a shower and how the cement should be finished so it won't be too slippery or too rough?
    Thanks!

    I have a walk in with concrete floor.

    I have painted on UGL's DRILOK paint and had limited longterm results,by this I mean,it still turns mildewy,has deposits that won't clean off,and is altogether a hassle(no window to ventilate the room either)

    I have had to use muratic acid to etch it twice in 5 years,Its due for another one now(Thanks for reminding me:p)

    Hope someone has a good idea for you too,I'll be watching for other posts.
