What is an acceptable moisture level in concrete?

• <div><p>The actual moisture level that is acceptable for your concrete floor depends on what primer or flooring material you plan to install above it. For this reason, you should check the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact details.</p><p>Generally, the moisture levels should be 3.5% to 4.5%, although it does vary. Some products can handle higher levels of moisture, so you should always test your concrete before purchasing your flooring materials.</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: Can professionals offer decorative options for concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, such as stamping, staining, and exposed aggregate for aesthetic appeal.</p></div>

Q: What can I do with extra-wet cement?

• <div><p>The easiest way to handle extra-wet cement is to pour it, let it harden, and then recycle it using one of the methods above. You can also crush it down and sell it for base materials, although this can be pretty time-consuming. Your best bet is to start with less concrete than you need and make more as you go to avoid this problem.</p></div>

Q: Can an old cement floor be polished?

• <div><p>Yes, you can polish an old cement floor. However, be aware that the first pass with the concrete grinder may reveal a few surprises and imperfections. You may also have to contend with the consequences of previous floor coverings, such as tile or carpet, which can leave a pattern in the concrete. Old concrete is more likely to produce uneven results if you want to use a dye or other coloring.</p></div>
