Is thicker concrete less likely to crack?

• <div><p>Yes, thicker concrete is less likely to crack. The thicker the concrete is, the less susceptible it is to extreme changes in weather conditions that often cause concrete to crack or chip. If you’re unable to install a thicker concrete driveway for any reason, you can also ask your professional to install more rebar or wire mesh to provide greater strength and better resilience to damage. </p></div>

Should the toilet flange be screwed to a concrete floor?

• <div><p>Yes, you should screw your flange to the subfloor, including cement. The best way to get this done is to predrill holes into the concrete using a hammer drill and a ¼-inch concrete bit. Be careful when you’re ready to bolt your flange down, as you can accidentally crack it. You can avoid this issue by not installing the screws too deep. Or, you can opt for a flange with a stainless steel ring so you don’t have to worry about cracking the plastic.</p></div>

Q: How thick should a concrete driveway be?

• <div><p>The standard thickness for a concrete driveway is <b>four inches</b> for an area that holds cars and pickup trucks. Larger vehicles like motor homes, heavier trucks, and trailers should be thicker to accommodate the added weight without cracking. Plan to pour concrete <b>five inches</b> thick for driveways that need to accommodate large, heavy vehicles.</p></div>

Q: How long does dry pour concrete take to cure?

• <div><p>Dry pour concrete cures in the same amount of time as wet pour concrete, so you&rsquo;re looking at four to six hours for it to harden, 24 to 48 hours before you can remove forms and expose the slab to foot traffic, a week before it can stand up to vehicle traffic, and about a month for it to be fully cured. </p></div>

Q: What factors affect the drying time of concrete sealers?

• <div><p>Factors like the time of day you choose to seal the concrete, temperature, humidity, and airflow will impact drying time. To shorten the drying time, seal concrete in the late afternoon on a day with a temperature between 45 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.</p></div>

the work was done quickly the next day with four guys on the job to finish quickly; the only negative I would say was the clean up of the area around the concrete flatwork sealing could have been a bit better and timely.
