Economical way to prevent dusting from AAC blocks in your garage?

Home Improvement Asked on August 8, 2021

Two main walls of my garage are made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks and they produce a lot of dusting. Total surface I need to is around 25 square meters.

What can I use to prevent future dusting from the walls? I would prefer something liquid where I can use a roller or a paintbrush instead of preparing the mix with water (as this would involve more dust and efforth).

In case it matters, I live in UK. I seen people recommending PVA but I seen many types and I don’t know which type and quantity I need.

I also have concreete floor (15sqm) for which I need a solution, for the same reasons, I don’t want more dust in the garage. The garage is used only for storage, so I am not concerned much about traffic. Still, I don’t want to see the coating peeling from the walls or ceiling in the next 4-5 years.

One Answer

I ended up with this mix: - 1 part PVA - 5 parts white masonery paint

I also added some extra water (less than 1 part) to ease mixing and to compensate for the big absortion abilities of the blocks.

I will post some photos after but it was looking promising even after 15 minutes.
