CalvinHobbes Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 Poured yesterday, How long before we can start framing it with blocks and how long before we can put pallets of blocks on it? Weather is good. Hope it stays like that.
JohnMo Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 Builder will say tomorrow or the architect will say a week. Monday would be a good compromise 1

TonyT Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 4 days for non reinforced OPC ( ordinary Portland cement) slab watch it doesn’t dry out to quicky with the nice weather we are having watch the edges of the slab they may still be prone to damage
Conor Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 What @TonyT Says. I had to spend the first day or so spraying our slab down as it was in full sun 20c+ weather. You'll know if its drying too fast when you see white patches forming and a crumbly / flaky surface.
Pocster Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 I let a hose slowly run over mine in the daytime for at least the 1st day . You want it to cure slowly . Keep it damp 1
