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>

Which is better: epoxy or concrete stain?

• <div><p>Epoxy coatings for concrete basement or garage floors are popular. These two-part resinous coatings are waterproof and highly durable, making them an ideal choice for high-traffic spaces or areas where spills are likely. However, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/epoxy-flooring-costs-advantages-and-installation.htm">epoxy flooring costs</a> more to apply than concrete stains and doesn't produce a natural-looking finish.</p></div>

Q: What's the best way to melt ice without damaging concrete?

• <div><p>Natural ice melts can often get the job done without damaging concrete. You can try non-corrosive options such as kitty litter, alfalfa meal, coffee grounds, sugar beet juice, and heated snow-melting mats. While they may cause some staining, these natural melts are safe for concrete, pets, and the environment.</p></div>

Q: Do you sand concrete wet or dry?

• <div><p>You can concrete can be done when it&rsquo;s wet or dry. However, it&rsquo;s safer when wet, as harmful dust and chemicals are present. Sanding it when dry is faster, but you&rsquo;ll agitate more dust and chemicals, meaning you&rsquo;ll need to be more careful.</p></div>

Q: Will concrete set in rain?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pouring-concrete-in-the-rain.htm">concrete can set in rain</a>, but it&rsquo;s best if you pour concrete 4 to 8 hours before any rain to ensure it won&rsquo;t impact its strength and appearance. Exposure to heavy rain during the early stages (the first 48 hours after pouring) can significantly reduce the structural integrity of the concrete. Over time, cracking is more likely due to softer concrete. </p></div>
