Does spraying water on concrete help it cure?

• <div><p>Spraying water on concrete will slow down the curing process and can help create a stronger slab. Spraying your concrete may be necessary if you’re pouring in hotter temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, if it’s particularly windy, or if your new concrete is exposed to intense sunlight. Avoid spraying for the first four hours, and then spray five to 10 times a day for the following week. </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>

Q: When is concrete moisture testing most necessary?

Flooring like luxury vinyl tile and bamboo performs better than more rigid materials in environments where moisture might be present. However, thorough testing is always an excellent preventative measure to control and monitor water in your home.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is recommended for resurfaced concrete?
