Should I add reinforcements for my new concrete slab?

• <div><p>Whether or not you need reinforcements for your concrete slab depends on the thickness, what you’ll use the slab for, and the climate and soil conditions in your area. Adding reinforcements increases the strength and durability of your concrete slab, so it’s ideal for load-bearing slabs like driveways and home foundations. It can also help reduce the risk of cracking in extreme climates and areas that see excessive soil movement. Speak with your professional to determine if your project requires reinforcement.</p></div>

What are the disadvantages of a concrete house?

• <div><p>Concrete houses cost 10% to 20% more to build than stick-built homes, and maintenance on home systems is more invasive and expensive due to pipes and wires being buried in concrete. Concrete homes can also look more industrial and less comfortable if you don’t cover the concrete with finishing materials. It’s also more challenging to make changes to concrete, so reframing doors and windows or building home additions will cost more. Concrete needs time to cure, too, so the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-build-house.htm">timeline to build a house</a> out of concrete is a bit longer.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete dye or stain better?

• <div><p>Concrete stain is usually better than dye for longevity because it is more durable and shows less wear and tear. While stain is not as saturated as dye, it gives you more control over the final look of the concrete countertops.</p></div>

Q: How to dry concrete quickly?

• <div><p>Use a dehumidifier for indoor concrete and a wet vacuum for outdoor surfaces. Sprinkle absorbent materials like sawdust or cat litter to soak up the remaining moisture. If the concrete is outside, simply wait for a few hot, dry days. If the concrete is inside, make sure you have good ventilation for a few days so that any remaining moisture can completely dry out.</p></div>

Q: What is the life span of a stamped concrete driveway?

• <div><p>While stamped concrete can last <b>up to 50 year</b>s on average, a driveway will likely need repairs or resurfacing within 25 years. Comparatively, the life span of a stamped concrete driveway is much longer than those built with pavers or asphalt, which will often crack or break down under the weight of your vehicle much sooner.</p></div>
