What lasts longer, a fiberglass or concrete pool?

• <div><p>Concrete pools have the longest life span. As long as you properly maintain your concrete pool, you can expect it to last 50 to 100 years. That said, you will need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/resurfacing-pool-eliminates-cut-feet-cracks-and-lost-water.htm">resurface your concrete pool</a> as it ages. Fiberglass is durable, but fiberglass pools generally only last around 25 to 30 years. That said, some high-end fiberglass pools can last more than 50 years if they’re well-maintained. </p></div>

Does a concrete walkway or sidewalk need rebar?

• <div><p>Whether a concrete walkway or sidewalk needs rebar depends on how it will be used. Walkways and sidewalks meant for light foot traffic don’t need rebar, and you can use wire mesh instead. But concrete surfaces that will see heavy machinery will likely need it.</p></div>

Q: What is a driveway apron called?

• <div><p>The driveway apron is a technical term referring to where a private driveway meets the public street. If there is a sidewalk in front of the house, the driveway apron is typically on the opposite side of the public sidewalk from the driveway itself. </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a floating slab and a monolithic slab?

• <div><p>A floating slab is a single chunk of concrete that sits directly on flat soil, while a monolithic slab is a single piece of concrete that includes built-in footings that reach several feet below where the majority of the slab sits. Monolithic slabs provide more support, so they&rsquo;re suitable for home construction, whereas floating slabs get minimal support from the soil directly below and are more common under sheds and detached garages.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete log siding the same thing as fiber cement siding?

• <div><p>Concrete log siding is not the same as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-fiber-cement-siding.htm">fiber cement siding</a>. Fiber cement siding is made from a mixture of cement and cellulose fibers, while GFRC is made from cement, glass fibers, and polymers. The materials are similar in their durability, longevity, and curb appeal, and the main difference is that concrete log siding is available in more styles that resemble traditional log siding. Fiber cement is also less expensive, with materials costing around half what you&rsquo;d pay for concrete log siding.</p></div>
