hallega Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hi everyone, Do we have to wait for 28 days before we can start placing out our Durisol blocks, hubby is chomping at the bit, anyone advise anthing else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) The next day. Our slab was poured on a Friday, ICF started on the Monday, and poured 2 weeks after slab. You don't need concrete to get to full 28 day strength unless you are putting a lot of force against it, eg. Backfilling or concrete slabs.

Thanks for the reply. Morning, you only need to wait to back fill the basement, you can get on with the ICF walls withing a few days of the pour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
