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>

Can you pour concrete over an existing basement floor?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour concrete over an existing concrete basement floor to save time and money on fully ripping out an existing concrete slab. However, it’s not a perfect solution, so consult a pro before moving forward. You must take specific measurements, and these kinds of floors don’t have the same longevity.</p></div>

Will wet concrete bond to dry concrete?

• <div><p>No, wet concrete will not bond to dry concrete without an additional bonding agent. The common alternative is adding a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-anybody-use-sand-base-they-pour-concrete-driveway.htm">sand or gravel layer under a concrete slab</a> to enhance bonding and create a stable foundation. The right choice depends on the height and thickness of your two slabs, local laws, and the use of the specific concrete slab. </p></div>

Q: Is underlayment necessary for hardwood floors on concrete?

• <div><p>Underlayment is the barrier between the concrete floor and the hardwood flooring. Adding this barrier is a vital step when installing hardwood over concrete, and it&rsquo;s essential for protecting the wood from moisture coming from the concrete. Some adhesives are also manufactured to contain a moisture barrier that can protect hardwood from moisture, even if it&rsquo;s glued directly to the concrete.</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>
