Concrete can be used for driveways, patios, porches, foundations, flooring, sidewalks, and more. It can come in various sizes, shapes, and textures to best suit your project’s needs and your personal preferences. Concrete is an integral building material used in many quality construction projects. It is incredibly reliable, durable, and strong. Concrete is capable of withstanding a significant amount of weight and pressure.
How Long Does Concrete Last?
High-quality concrete can last for decades and withstand harsh weather conditions. Reinforcing your concrete, avoiding chemical exposure to the concrete, and providing regular maintenance and care by sealing and addressing cracks in the concrete can extend the lifespan of concrete and improve its appearance. Concrete that uses the best materials, has a solid and secure base, and proper drainage can last 50+ years.
How Long Does it Take For Concrete to Cure?
Concrete can reach its full strength after 28 days. After 24 to 48 hours, you should be able to walk on the surface, after 7 days you should be able to drive on surfaces, and after 28 days the concrete should be fully cured. Curing improves the strength and durability of concrete and enhances it’s water resistance. Allowing sufficient time for concrete curing ensures maximum strength and durability and can help the structure stay strong for decades.
