What is meant by curing concrete?
The curing period for concrete is approximately 28 days after placing conventional concrete. New concrete can be wet with soaking hessian, sprinklers or covered with wet hessian or plastic sheets or can be watered with commercially available curing compounds which seal in moisture. Add only small amounts of water where possible. During winter, request the plant adds a “winter mix” to your delivery. This ensures the concrete will harden faster in wet and cold condition. A curing compound or curing oil can be purchased through Entire Concrete to ensure your concrete cures appropriately should you have any problems during the curing phase.
