Glad to see you are settled in Canada after the shift from France.  You
could try seamless vinyl but I wonder why you do not wish to use exopy
resin.  Here we use two pot epoxy to seal our concrete floors.  It is a good
idea to make sure it is acid etched before hand to make sure there are no
calcium deposits to after the finish.

We use a different colour for the undercoat compared to the top coat(s) so
that if the top coat(s) wear the different colour of the undercoat shows
through.

Here in Australia we are required to have coving on the floor where it meets
the wall.  This allows easy cleaning into the corner.  If you need to put a
coving strip in you may need to seal the joins with some food grade sealant.
