Concrete slabs typically take 24 to 48 hours to dry to the touch, but full curing can take up to 28 days. The drying process is gradual, and it’s important to allow the slab enough time to cure properly to achieve its full strength. The first few days are critical, and the slab should be protected from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. While the surface may seem dry after a day or two, it’s best to wait at least a week before applying heavy loads or starting further construction.

Concrete slabs are versatile and can be used for a wide variety of applications. Common uses include flooring in homes, garages and commercial buildings, as well as foundations for houses and sheds. They are also used in outdoor areas for patios, driveways, and pathways. In commercial settings, concrete slabs are often employed for factory floors and industrial spaces where durability and load-bearing capacity are crucial. The versatility of concrete makes it a popular choice for both residential and commercial construction projects.

A concrete driveway is long-lasting and low-maintenance, making it a popular choice for homeowners. Concrete is durable and can withstand heavy vehicles, weather conditions and general wear and tear. It also offers a clean, polished look that can be customised with various finishes or patterns. Compared to other driveway materials, concrete is more resistant to cracks and requires fewer repairs over time. It’s also a more environmentally friendly option as it doesn’t require the use of toxic sealants.
