Will zip flashing tape stick to concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, zip flashing tape will stick to concrete. It also adheres to metal, PVC, glass, masonry blocks, and wood. Just make sure to keep sheathing at least ½ inch away from the concrete and use a backer rod to fill the space between the two. If you don’t have zip flashing tape, try any sealant with a backer rod or professional masking tape. </p></div>

How thick should concrete be for steps?

• <div><p>Concrete should be at least 4 inches thick for steps. This thickness boosts stability and prevents cracking and deterioration. After you’ve built your forms out of wood, fill the void with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-anybody-use-sand-base-they-pour-concrete-driveway.htm">sand or gravel base for concrete</a>. Use an all-purpose concrete mix to form your steps. After pouring your concrete steps, be sure to screed and float the concrete. </p></div>

How long does concrete take to completely harden?

• <div><p>Concrete can take <b>up to 28 days</b> to completely harden, depending on the type and its water content. But it dries enough for foot traffic in 24 to 48 hours. If you're curious about <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-concrete-take-to-dry.htm">how long it takes concrete to dry</a> entirely, the answer is more complex, so always check with the specific mixture instructions before adding heavy machinery or driving on new concrete.</p></div>

Does concrete dry faster in heat or cold?

• <div><p>Concrete dries faster in the heat than in the cold, but when concrete cures too fast, it can cause weak concrete. It’s best to pour concrete when temperatures are between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, watering it five to 10 times per day for seven days (unless you pour concrete in the winter). Slower cure times, such as when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pouring-concrete-in-cold-weather.htm">pouring concrete in cold weather</a>, can cause strong concrete, but you need to monitor the temperature drop and moisture levels. Avoid pouring concrete when temperatures are below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to stain or paint concrete?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, stain is a better option for concrete because it soaks into the surface and won&rsquo;t get worn away like a topical paint will. Painting concrete increases the risk that moisture will get trapped beneath the top layer of paint, which wears concrete down over time. So long as you know how to prep concrete for staining, you'll maintain its strength after you finish your project.</p></div>
