Concrete is the most popular building material in both residential and commercial structures, especially here in Central Florida. Precast formed concrete has become the material of choice among landscape architects and contractors for fences, retaining walls, and Hardscapes. There are a few things to know about concrete before you invest in your new project.
Not all Concrete is the Same
The most expensive component of concrete is cement. To lower the cost, a company may use a less expensive alternative, such as fly ash. If you are shopping around and find a company offering a significantly lower bid, you may want to ask what is in the cement they are going to use. Cheaper cement means a compromised durability.
Conditions While Curing Concrete
Though some feel exposure to the sun is the best way for concrete to dry out and cure, but this only speeds up evaporation and makes the concrete weaker. Slow drying is the best way to cure concrete, because it gains strength during hydration.
As Concrete Ages the Stronger it Becomes
Properly cured cement is allowed to keep moist as it dries at a slow rate. Gaining strength within the first four weeks and become stronger through the years.
